For Carers Week, the ALLIANCE partnered with Scotland’s National Carer Organisations for a Q&A session with Professor Jason Leitch.
In partnership with the National Carer Organisations (this link will take you away from our website), the ALLIANCE recorded a podcast with Professor Jason Leitch, Scotland’s National Clinical Director, on the topic of unpaid carers for Carers Week (8-14 June 2020).
We asked our members and wider network to submit questions prior to the interview, to give an idea of the questions unpaid carers would like answers to. ALLIANCE’s Director Strategy and Engagement, Irene Oldfather asked these questions to Jason Leitch for a YouTube video. This important ALLIANCE Live podcast covered the impact of COVID-19, and responses to it, on unpaid carers.
As National Clinical Director, Jason is responsible for quality in Scotland’s health and social care system, including patient safety and person-centred care, NHS planning, and implementing quality improvement methods across the government and the broader public sector.
