We work with the statutory authorities on an ongoing basis in the negotiation process towards raising fees paid for care to levels recommended in the national costing models
We promote the care sector by lobbying politicians and by raising the issue of economic development. We also work with CSCI. We hold regular local meetings to which all care providers are invited to give their views. Meetings are held in York, Scarborough, Harrogate, Skipton and Leeming.
We produce a quarterly newsletter which highlights concerns and keeps providers up to date with local information.
We e-mail topical information and best practice guidance to members.
We hold an annual conference giving providers and health professionals the chance to get together to hear key speakers on care issues.
