I was delighted if rather surprised to see today that I am in a new list of top 30 charity CEOs  on social media.  Only 2 years ago I was a self-avowed sceptic about social media, dismissive of LinkedIn,  averse to Facebook (still am) and wary of Twitter.   I reluctantly began tweeting under the National Voices @NVTweeting account in January 2012, only after gentle if irresistible encouragement from  our  communications lead Jules Acton.   Within 5 days I was chafing at the constraints of an organisational account and began tweeting as myself.  

Everywhere I go, people are talking about building the House of Care and putting in place collaborative care and support planning. It all looks so simple doesn’t it? Ask people to set a goal, tell them what local support is available to help them get there and you’ve got a basic care plan. Add in a few pieces of information (medical data and details of who to contact in case of emergency) and there it is - job done.
