ALLIANCE Live continues to spotlight emerging issues, good practice and innovation in health and social care.
ALLIANCE Live content was still being captured remotely at the start of 2022. Audiences were first provided with an overview of the children’s policy landscape in Scotland, including discussion on Scottish Government efforts to address childhood poverty and food insecurity. In a series also containing web-based Opinion pieces, Future of Social Care invited guests to speak on the new National Care Service and some of the key issues including Data and Children and Young People.
The Digital Gathering provided ALLIANCE Live with its first opportunity to put the refurbished meeting room into use as a part time studio. Meeting Room 5 in the ALLIANCE offices had been retrofitted with sound proofing measures to improve the capacity for recording digital content in house. Journalist and campaigner Michael McEwen was commissioned to test it out, recording interludes for the Digital Gathering summary video.
In spring, ALLIANCE Live established a partnership with healthandcare.scot, an e-news organisation focussing on health and social care in Scotland. The partnership was to develop a new podcast series that would bring in expert voices from across health and social care to focus on a current issue. Since then, Equally Valued has covered a range of topics including cost of living crises, NCS, social security, climate change and integration.
To create a more cohesive offering to the various audiences of ALLIANCE workstreams and programmes, the ALLIANCE Live Action Group took the decision to produce more series based outputs. Since then several series have emerged;
Project Insights highlighted the learning and impact being captured by projects of the Self Management Fund; Women’s Health at the Centre has been inviting experts to speak on a range of topics through regular webinars in support of the Women’s Health Plan; and Courageous Leadership profiles leaders at all levels of health and social care to explore what makes great leadership.
Another focus of ALLIANCE Live has been capturing more in-person content. In August, the team recorded the painting of a mural at the Riverbank Centre in Stirling. The video also featured words from the staff about how the mural would carry with it a message around What Matters To You. Towards the end of the year ALLIANCE Live hosted a roundtable discussion at the ALLIANCE studio space. The topic was the Coming Home Implementation Report, the concern is has caused people with disabilities and their families and the ways in which things can still move forward to demonstrate progress.
