Arguably the biggest dates on the care sector calendar, the bi-annual Care Shows continue to go from strength to strength, offering innovative products a way into the market and giving key industry debate a platform to flourish.

Held also at the NEC, Birmingham, in November, first up is the March 25 and 26 event at the BIC, Bournemouth, which could well prove to be the biggest Care Show yet, falling as it does six weeks before a General Election that could have profound consequences on a sector that supports 2.8m full-time jobs in England alone.

One notable addition to the event’s seminar programme is ‘The Big Political Debate – The Political Parties share their Vision for Care’, which will be attended by local MPs and welcomes contributions from visitors keen to pose questions.

Event director James Samuel comments: “With the subject of care continuing to feature high on news agendas, we are delighted to be able to introduce further innovative care solutions and inspiration to Care Show Bournemouth again in 2015. We are delighted to be working with Nadra Ahmed of the National Care Association in facilitating our topical Big Debate and look forward to welcoming many visitors to share their views with local MPs.”

Other panel discussions and presentations include ‘Managing medicines’, ‘Occupancy strategies: Maintaining increasing & managing occupancy’ and ‘Funding strategies: Coping with budget cuts’, all put together based on feedback and requests from visitors, including ‘Understanding and marketing to the self-funder – the secrets to success’ which proved to be a productive seminar at the last Birmingham event, brought back by popular demand.

At least 170 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation, with exhibitors including Access UK, apetito, Boots Care Services, Danfloor UK and Renray Healthcare, while at carehome.co.uk & homecare.co.uk we’re looking forward to the event also.
