   “None of it can be delivered without social care”: Martin Green and Jane Townson | Voices of Care

   Can the NHS deliver its ten-year plan without fixing social care? And what would it take to move from political promises to meaningful change? In a challenge to the Government to show political courage now and with the Budget days away, Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England, and Dr Jane Townson OBE, Chief Executive of the Homecare Association, join host M. Suhail Mirza on the Voices of Care sponsored by Newcross Healthcare, for a candid discussion about one of the country’s most urgent policy challenges. They examine why social care is essential national infrastructure, how inadequate support affects unpaid carers and employment, and why prevention must become central to reform.

   CMSUK Annual Awards 2026 | Voices of Care

   Recorded at the CMSUK Awards 2026, this special episode brings together Rhiannon Stokes, Stephanie Fleet, Ann Shearer, Gail Porter and Teresa Shaw to explore the Awards theme: “Holding It Together: Resilience, Recovery and Professional Excellence.” They join host M. Suhail Mirza to discuss the often unseen role of case managers in holding together the individual, family, professionals and practical support required for recovery. The conversation examines why identity must be considered from the beginning of rehabilitation; how meaningful work can restore health, confidence and purpose; why effective case management must be individually delivered; and why resilience should never mean having to cope alone.
