The summit provides Community Equipment professionals a short, sharp forum to discuss the high level,
burning issues affecting the delivery of services in the current challenging environment.
Medequip’s Managing Director - David Griffiths sat on the Naidex Community Equipment
Summit panel discussing burning issues including:
- Should the new goal of community equipment services be to encourage people towards self-funding and if so what can be done to help in this regard?
- Will future increases in Better Care Fund money end up as a myth that never quite materialises?
- Should training all Stakeholders, within the Adult Social Care & Primary Care system, on what Assistive Technology can do for independence be a central part of every workforce development plan?
Over 70 delegates attended the event.
