TCES National Shared Learning Events
The national TCES team is holding a series of 'shared learning' events in London. These events are designed to equip local sites with the knowledge and understanding of how to implement the retail model without further direct support from the national TCES team. The aim is to ensure local authorities and their health partners have full access to the tools and methodologies to lead their own implementation plans and assume ownership from the national team as it completes its role in September 2010.
The majority of modules are aimed at key staff members, typically the head of the occupational therapy service, senior occupational therapists or senior commissioners. Module 2 on Financial Modelling is specifically aimed at LA/PCT financial/budget/service/ICES accountants.

Please note that this is the last opportunity to get help directly from the national team.
