Integration across the Adult Social Care sector has had its own challenges. With the constant changes to the NHS, some really struggle to make meaning of their places and feel far away from a shared agenda. Speaking on the matter, President of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) Care, Melanie Williams explained: “It’s a really mixed picture. In some places, there’s really good geographical alignment, long histories of joint work, and integration flourishes. However, others really struggle to make meaning of their places and feel far away from a shared agenda. But there are some amazing examples of where there’s investment and government policy funding." Discover the highs, challenges, and what’s next for integration.

The Women's and Children's Health Network's second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) October 2024 - October 2026 is a key step in our commitment to reconciliation and creating meaningful gains in Aboriginal health and wellbeing. 🖤 💛 ❤️ This RAP is a key enabler of our Network's Aboriginal Health Plan and we are committed to creating culturally safe healthcare environments, fostering partnerships, and driving meaningful gains in health equity.

Today, on the 1st of October, we celebrate International Day of Older People, a day set aside by the United Nations to highlight the significant contributions made by our seniors and address the unique needs of our ageing population. The 2024 theme is “Ageing with Dignity: The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide,” which resonates deeply with us. We recognise the pivotal role robust support and care systems play in ensuring everyone, regardless of age, can live a life of independence and dignity. Our senior citizens deserve not just respect, but also care systems that allow them to maintain their independence, live their lives fully. As we look towards the future, it is crucial to ensure that our seniors have the care and support they need. Let's remember that by creating a world that supports ageing with dignity, we are not only enriching the lives of people but also setting a precedent for future generations. #InternationalDayofOlderPeople #AgeingWithDignity #IDOP2024 #Healthtech #Seniorcare #Telecare #Digitalhealth

Today, we observe the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIW), a day dedicated to raising awareness about the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2-spirit people in Canada. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the ongoing violence and systemic injustices faced by Indigenous women and girls across the country. It is a time to advocate for change and urge governments and institutions to address the underlying causes of the MMIW crisis. It is critical to recognize that the issue of MMIW is not only a societal concern but also has significant implications for health care. Health care providers and institutions must strive to establish a culturally sensitive and respectful health care system that meets the needs of Indigenous peoples.

As we honour National Reconciliation Week, the ASMR stands united in our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. This year's theme, "Now More Than Ever," underscores the urgent need to address health disparities and promote Indigenous health and wellbeing.   Reconciliation is not just a week of reflection but a continuous journey. We acknowledge the enduring cultures, contributions, and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Their traditional knowledge and perspectives are invaluable to our medical research community.   Some ways the medical research community can support reconciliation: - Promoting and supporting Indigenous health research and researchers. - Ensuring our research practices respect and integrate Indigenous knowledge and cultural sensitivity. - Collaborating with Indigenous communities to address health inequities and develop effective, culturally appropriate healthcare solutions.   Now more than ever, we encourage everyone in the medical research community to engage, learn, and actively contribute to reconciliation efforts. By working together, we can pave the way for healthier futures for all Australians.   #NationalReconciliationWeek #NowMoreThanEver #ASMR #IndigenousHealth #EquityInResearch

ASMIRT supports the United Nations International Day of Older Persons. As life expectancy rises globally, the need for comprehensive healthcare, care, and social support services is more important than ever. By 2030, older persons will outnumber youth worldwide. Let's focus on strengthening healthcare and support systems to ensure everyone can age with dignity. 👉 Read more on “The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide: https://lnkd.in/ddqbjVC.

Today is National Reconciliation Week #NRW2024, a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements. On this day, we would like to highlight the research of NeuRA’s Aboriginal Health & Ageing group, who are focused on partnering with communities to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal Australians and finding better ways to support their cognitive health as they age. Older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people hold important leadership, knowledge transfer, and care roles in their communities. Whilst many people are ageing well, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience dementia at rates that are three to five times higher than the broader Australian population. NeuRA’s Aboriginal Health and Ageing group adopts a holistic approach to healthy ageing in Aboriginal communities in New South Wales. Co-designed with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community members and health experts, the StandingTall with Our Mob Project (#STOMP!) comprises three main components: a home-based balance exercise and brain training program called StandingTall, a group-based culturally grounded mindfulness program, and a tailored health education program.
