SUMMARY:Ageing well with The Open University: A knowledge exchange
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of 2020 and in January 2021\, VHS ran a series of events on ageing well with the Open University. \nLed by Dr Jitka Vsecteckova\, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Health and Social Care with the Open University\, with discussion and input from third sector staff\, volunteers and older people themselves\, these talks centred on gaining an understanding of the 5 Pillars of Ageing and considered their implications for older people’s health and wellbeing. The five pillars are: nutrition\, hydration\, physical activity\, cognitive stimulation and social stimulation. \nThis event will pick up the discussion over a year since our last meeting. It will include a brief overview of topics covered over the course of the talks and will include a discussion on how the topic of ageing. \nBook your place here. \nWe now know about the pillars of ageing but how can we embed this and use the talk series in our work? \nHow can we make a difference for those we work with? \nWhat else do we need to consider when looking at how we age? \nWhat other areas of ageing do we need to spotlight? \nJoin VHS and the Open University at this event where we want to hear from you about ageing and wellbeing. \nPlease contact Lauren Blair if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Kitchen Table discussion on equality\, diversity and inclusion
DESCRIPTION:VHS is hosting a Kitchen Table discussion\, in person\, at our office in Edinburgh on Tuesday 22 March. We have invited selected members\, challengers and critical friends to join us at the Kitchen Table\, and are now opening up remaining places more widely. \nWhy a Kitchen Table?  \nAs Scotland’s national intermediary and network for the voluntary health sector VHS needs to demonstrate clear leadership\, positive values and effective action in how it approaches the health issues of the day and operates as an organisation. Tackling health inequalities is fundamental to our purpose\, but we recognise that we have a lot more to understand and do in relation to equality\, diversity and inclusion. We are holding a series of Kitchen Table discussions to help us cast a critical eye on ourselves as an organisation\, and to benefit from the perspectives\, expertise and experience of people with professional or personal knowledge of the issues. \nWe have identified six particular challenge for VHS: \n\nHow can we make sure that diversity is better reflected in and through our governance and leadership?\nDo we have the necessary policies to promote the principles and legal requirements of equality\, diversity and fairness?\nHow do we strengthen our practice of equality\, diversity and fairness in our recruitment\, selection\, training and development of staff?\nHow do we strengthen our membership base to include more voluntary health organisations working in the areas of equality\, diversity and inclusion?\nHow can we strengthen the delivery of our policy and engagement work – actively identifying and reducing discrimination\, and respecting diversity and cultural differences?\nWhat more can we do to promote the equality\, diversity and inclusion through our external communications?\n\nListening to\, learning from and collaborating with our stakeholders is crucial.  Our approach needs to be focused on improving VHS’s own work but we hope that the Kitchen Table discussions will also help contribute to improvement\, delivery and learning across our stakeholders\, including member organisations\, healthcare providers and health policy makers. \nRead more: VHS improving equality diversity and inclusion briefing paper \nPlease email Lauren Blair to express interest in attending on 22nd March. \nOur second Kitchen Table takes place online on 6th April\, and is now fully booked. \n

SUMMARY:Demonstrating impact on health inequalities for Community Link Workers- Follow up
DESCRIPTION:In December VHS hosted a workshop in partnership with Evaluation Support Scotland: Demonstrating impact on health inequalities for Community Link Workers.  We hope attendees found it useful and have started to think how you could use some of the approaches/tools in your role. \nWe plan to run a follow up peer learning session on this topic on Tuesday 29th March 10.00 – 12.00.   This will be held on Zoom. \nThis is an opportunity for you to share learning and successes as well as to get a bit of peer support with any ongoing challenges in evaluating your impact on health inequalities. \nWhat’s in it for you? \n\nShare your evaluation successes in this area. What approaches/tools have you tried since the training in December? How did this go?\nHear other organisations’ good ideas (and challenges!)\nGet help to embed or apply new approaches to evaluating your work\nReceive some advice/refreshers\n\nWhat the session won’t be  \n\nIt’s not a test – we definitely won’t judge you on your evaluation!\nIt’s not training – the approach is peer learning with other Community Link Workers (although of course we will help as much as we can)\n\nPlease note: this session is a follow up for those CLWs who attended the December workshop\, so please don’t cascade this invitation further. \nBook your place here. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Lauren Blair. \n
