Summary of the NHS Recovery Plan: Third Sector Focus (with BSL)
Health Journalist, Pennie Taylor provides an overview of the NHS Recovery Plan: Third Sector Focus interviews. This video makes the case for greater collaboration from the NHS with third sector partners and reinforces the need for statuatory colleagues to listen to the voices of lived experience in order to successfully recover, remobilise and redesign our healthcare system.
Future of Social Care – Data and the National Care Service
As Scotland heads towards a new National Care Service, the ALLIANCE’s “Future of Social Care” series will be investigating some of the key issues at play. ALLIANCE Senior Policy Officer Dr Hannah Tweed interviews Public Health Scotland’s Lead on Integration and Primary Care Information, Peter Knight. They discuss why data matters, examples of where good use of data has led to improved service delivery, and why it’s important to get data gathering right.

Addressing childhood poverty and food insecurity in Scotland
Bill Scott, Chair of the Poverty & Inequality Commission, and Lindsay Graham, Deputy Chair of the Poverty & Inequality Commission, provide an overview of the children’s policy landscape in Scotland. Looking at Scottish Government efforts to address childhood poverty and food insecurity, the discussion addresses the particular challenges faced by disabled children and young people, those living with long term conditions, young carers, and their families, and the policy efforts that need to be put in place to address these.
