How Do We Reform Adult Social Care to be Equitable & Resilient?

Room 507, Boyd Orr Building

We live in an era of global shocks. The seismic waves of the 2007/8 financial crash, the devastating impact of climate change, Brexit, the Covid 19 pandemic and now the current energy crisis have rapidly changed the very fabric of our economies, public services, communities, civil liberties and environment. Our political discourse has changed dramatically too with an erosion of trust and the rise in policy making that is more populist than evidence based.A key challenge for any modern democracy is how to prepare for ever-present global shocks, to build greater resilience into our economy and society, to tackle inequalities and to rebuild trust in how decisions are made.Over the course of the autumn of 2022, the University of Glasgow will bring together a range of expertise, experience and propositions to contribute to the necessary discussion on current and future resilience in responding to Global Shocks.This lecture series aims to consider what more we must do as a society to prepare our systems and networks, as well as policy and system relationships, to respond with resilience to the major global challenges we face: from economic crises and an aging population; to future health pandemics and protecting human rights.Each 90-minute event will bring together prominent experts to give their perspective on the global shocks and what they have learnt in their respective fields. Each event will follow a similar format with 15-minute presentations followed by a 45 minute Q&amp;A to be chaired by former Scottish Government Cabinet Secretaries, Jeane Freeman and Michael Russell, which will facilitate discussion and potentially inform future policy development.

In many countries, including Scotland, the pandemic exposed an adult social care system that was not fully prepared to cope with such a major shock. As that model is revisited, what can we learn from the collaborations already achieved, from other countries and how do we link future health and social care in an equitable way that consistently puts the patient and citizen first? In the second in our series of Global Shock events , our panel of experts will consider questions such as:<ul><li>What lessons have we learnt from the pandemic to make our social care systems more resilient?</li><li>In the global sphere, who could Scotland learn from?</li><li>The pandemic widened health, social and economic inequalities. What do we need to do to address these challenges through the lens of social care?</li><li>Are our social care systems flexible enough to cope with the next global shock we might face?</li></ul>With contributions from:Tressa Burke, founder member and Chief Executive Officer of Glasgow Disability Alliance Professor Fiona McQueen CBE, Vice-chairwoman of the National Drugs Death Taskforce; former Chief Nursing Officer for ScotlandProfessor Derek Feeley, Chair of National Advisory Board for health and care; former Director General for Health and Social Care and Chief Executive of the National Health Service (NHS) in ScotlandA brief introduction to the Global Shock Series will also be given by:Jeane Freeman OBE, former Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport in the Scottish GovernmentProfessor Michael Russell, former Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations of Scotland in the Scottish GovernmentL﻿inks to the online event will be sent to your email 1 day &amp; 30 minutes before the event takes place.
