    Personal Budgets for Older People - Making it Happen

    (Posted: 02/06/2010)

    Important communication about the upcoming multi-organisational conference:

    Please see below information for an upcoming event on 14th June - Personal Budgets and Older People - Making it Happen. We are limited to just over 80 places and I am expecting the event to be oversubscribed.

    However, I am specifically allocating a proportion of places at this event to attendees from provider organisations working with and for older people following on from the three sub-regional provider-focused events.

    I am aware from reading through the evaluation forms from events that there were a number of people who attended from organisations or businesses working with older people and who commented about the lack of presentations and information concerning older people.

    I would therefore like to extend this invitation to some of you to attend this event if interested.

    Please complete the attached registration form. We will send confirmation to you if you have been allocated a place.

    Please follow the links to:
  • Flyer for Older People and Personal Budgets Eastern Region
  • Biography for Helen Bowers
  • Workshop programme -older people and personal budgets Eastern region 14 June 2010
