This podcast will focus on the local authority (LA) assessment test and learn activity we carried out at Manchester City Council and Hampshire County Councils including what to expect from LA assessment activity. In this episode, we are joined by Mary Cridge, Director of Adult Social Care, Laura Arnold, Adult Social Care Inspection Manager, Lella Andrews, Adult Social Care Inspection Manager and local authority representatives, Bernadette Enright, Executive Director of Adult Social Services, Manchester City Council and Jessica Hutchinson, Assistant Director – Learning Disabilities & Mental Health Services and Principal Social Worker, Hampshire County Council. The Health and Care Act 2022 gives CQC a role to review integrated care systems (ICS). It also gives CQC a new duty to assess how local authorities are meeting their social care duties under part 1 of the Care Act. These will allow us to look more effectively at how care provided in a local system is improving outcomes and reducing inequalities. You can also read our latest blog which updates more widely on how we have been developing and testing our approach to assessing local authorities and integrated care systems. https://carequalitycomm.medium.com/an-update-on-cqcs-development-of-its-approach-to-local-authority-and-integrated-care-system-6fe7eeb91a14

Smiling matters: oral health in care homes
In this episode, we reflect on our recent reports into oral health in care homes. We published 'Smiling matters: oral health care in care homes' in 2019, and followed up with a progress report in 2023. Reflecting on the findings of the reports, our guests discuss the importance of oral health; explore ways to improve the experience for people living in care homes; and talk through ways of creating better connections between dental professionals, commissioners, and care homes. Dr David Shiers, a guest in this episode, is an expert advisor to the NICE centre for guidelines and views expressed are personal and not those of NICE.
