older people
The government’s Reshaping Care for Older People (RCOP) agenda highlights the need to change the way we plan and deliver care and support. Not only does it mean improving a whole range of services, but also designing better ways of communicating across different agencies to support these improvements.
Theme: Prevention
This project involves the co-production of knowledge between academic researchers, those involved in designing and delivering care, and those receiving care on reshaping care for older people. The project involves supporting older people or those supporting older people to undertake small research projects to improve their care.
The project is being jointly lead with Heather Wilkinson from the Centre for research on families and relationships (University of Edinburgh).
Students from Glasgow School of Art will present highlights from their work with IRISS on service design projects, focusing on Reshaping Care for Older People
On Monday, 3rd October, IRISS launched its shaping the future choreography of care and support project. The launch involved 15 practitioners working with older people from across social services, and 20 students from the Glasgow School of Art, who came together to start thinking about reshaping the future of suport for older people in Glasgow South.
A set of case studies, produced for IRISS by the Institute of Public Care, on initiatives, which through detailed costings, have been shown to be cost effective.
The eight case studies include:
- Shared lives
- Extra-care housing
- Health in mind
- LinkAge Plus
- Care and repair
- Self assessment
- Individual budgets
- Southwark Hospital discharge.
Jointly organised by IRISS, the SSSC and NHS Education for Scotland, this event will provide an opportunity for the aforementioned organisations to incorporate their joint activities and shape plans to support the workforce in the vision for reshaping care for older people (RCOP).
It will inform delegates about the joint working being undertaken by IRISS, the SSSC and NHS Education for Scotland, and engage delegates in discussion about the contribution of these agencies to the training, learning and workforce development agenda.

Who should attend?
A series of regional events around reshaping care for older people (RCOP) has been jointly (three-way) organised between the SSSC, NHS Education for Scotland and IRISS.
The series, entitled, 'Sliding doors to personal futures' will provide an opportunity for the aforementioned organisations to incorporate their joint activities and shape plans to support the workforce in the vision for RCOP that "Older people are valued as an asset, their voices are heard and they are supported to enjoy full and positive lives in their own home or in a homely setting".
This review provides an overview of the best available evidence in relation to 'what works' in increasing the percentage of people aged 65 and over with high level care needs who are cared for at home.
This is the aim of one of the Scottish Government’s 45 indicators of success in achieving national outcomes identified in the National Performance Framework.
Government policy changes rapidly and in the current financial climate it has never been more important to ensure that such changes are informed by good quality research evidence.
