In April 2025 we will be launching a new programme of quarterly Member Networking Meeting for our members – one for our Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin members, and one for our Cheshire members.

 In response to our annual Member Survey undertaken in September 2024, a quarter of respondents stated that they would like more member forums and networking opportunities, and a fifth stated that they would like more face-to-face contact.

The new Member Networking meetings will provide an opportunity for members to come together, network and receive updates on key issues they want to hear about and comment on.

The Member Networking Meetings won’t replace or compete with the existing quarterly Registered Manager Network meetings which are now organised by Skills for Care and which Partners in Care attends. These will continue (subject to funding) in 2025/26.

The new Partners in Care Member Networking Meetings are aimed at:

· Owners/Directors

· Chief Executives

· Other senior managers

· Registered Managers and Deputy Registered Managers

Please watch out for more details in the Partners in Care E-Bulletin nearer the time.
