BBC presenter Sally Magnusson to chair Future of Care conference

TV presenter, Sally Magnusson, who founded the dementia charity, Playlist for Life, is to chair the second annual Future of Care conference, where experts will be discussing key trends in the care sector.

The conference will take place on 19 March at The King’s Fund in central London. Sally Magnusson, who has presented Breakfast News and Reporting Scotland as well as Panorama, wrote the best-selling memoir, Where Memories Go: Why Dementia Changes Everything, and founded the music and dementia charity, Playlist for Life in 2013.

She said: “I helped to care for my mother during the many years she lived with dementia, and I wrote Where Memories Go out of a passionate desire to raise the standards of elderly care. After her death, I founded the music and dementia charity Playlist for Life. For all these reasons, I’m delighted to be chairing the Future of Care Conference this year.

“I’m particularly interested to hear the latest updates and experiences of those working within the industry, and am looking forward to discussing what’s next for the sector.”

The Future of Care Conference will feature prominent speakers who are at the forefront of shaping the care industry. These include Sue Howard, deputy chief inspector of adult social care for Care Quality Commission, Professor Martin Green, chief executive of Care England, Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of Alzheimer’s Society as well as Paul Burstow, chair of Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).

There will also be some stimulating panel debates.
