Andrew Webster - Experienced Health & Care Leader
How can we keep the spark of innovation going for unpaid carers?
Andrew, after 35 years in leadership roles in health and care, including Director of Social Services, chairing a major social enterprise and advising government, now supports innovators in care. Suzanne and Andrew talk about changing the narrative so that we don't have to put up with 'the way things are'.
"Find a place where you can do something different, and that could be a pilot."That could be an experiment that could be a trial supported by an academic institution.
"It could be, a grant to, a regeneration scheme that has got some care or carers elements built into it.
"Make sure that you keep lots and lots of your peers really well informed about it, because, this is in my experience, public sector systems can discourage the initial spark of innovation.
"But once it's going, it's quite hard to stamp it out because people will just spontaneously start doing things.
"And suddenly it becomes the norm."
