The Information Standard and Social Care – All you need to know
Monday 29 March 2010 12.30 - 16.00
The University College Hospital (UCH) Education Centre, 1st Floor West, 250 Euston Road, London, NW1 2PG
This joint seminar organised by the Association of Social Care Communicators and the Patient Information Forum looked at the Information Standard and its application in the social care arena (adult care, children and family care, and the voluntary sector). It gave participants the opportunity to find out more about information standards, including what has happened so far, what the options are now and what to do next.
The seminar included speakers from The Information Standard and agencies who are already involved with the accreditation process.
We are most grateful to The Information Standard for supporting this seminar.
