The government’s Reshaping Care for Older People (RCOP) agenda highlights the need to change the way care and support is planned and developed. 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. Over the course of 2011/12, IRISS (the Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services), in partnership with The Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow City Council Social Work Services, Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS, Cornerstone Care and BUPA, was involved in a project to foster innovative strategies and actions for the development of future support for older people's well-being. It involved multidisciplinary teams comprising designers, social service practitioners and users. The objective was to match the future expectations and aspirations of living a good older life to the resources that will be available to deliver it. There were 2 overall areas of learning on this project; one being the old adage of partnership working, the other, the new and emerging role of service design for public services. The learning suggests that partnership working is still difficult in practice, and that service design can be used not just to improve a given situation but also to generate knowledge that can inform policy making.

The report provides an overview of the conference ‘Exploring a Managed Care Network Approach to Support Lanarkshire Partnerships Delivering Services for Older People’. This conference was co-hosted by the Joint Improvement Team (JIT) and by Lanarkshire Health and Care Partnerships in April 2006 at Bell College , Hamilton. The objective of the conference was to explore, with a range of stakeholders, the potential for a managed care network approach to support Lanarkshire partnerships to deliver a better experience and improved outcomes for older people who use services and their carers. The conference also aimed: to connect partnerships to provide an opportunity for shared learning; to highlight shared challenges and opportunities; to explore potential areas of collaborative advantage; and to build capacity through collaboration with regional and national resources. This conference report includes key themes from the presentations and workshops, conclusions, and plans for a development programme to further scope the potential for a managed care network for older people.

A collaborative scheme of Early Supported Discharge, involving hospital and community staff and based in the Orthopaedic Directorate, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh NHS Trust, has improved early rehabilitation, discharge planning and follow-up for trauma patients aged over 70 and admitted from home and has produced substantial reductions in length of hospital stay. Central to the scheme is a dedicated occupational therapist who coordinates discharge arrangements for eligible patients. An evaluation of the experiences of patients, carers, general practitioners and other community staff indicated that shorter stays in hospital have been achieved without undue problems for patients during the immediate post-discharge period.
