- Lack of practical suggestions for practitioners
- Thank you for organising an excellent event
- Useful to meet with different people from different areas and partnerships
- Overheads were impossible to see and hand-outs illegible
- As there was no nominated co-ordinator for group B the discussion and focus may not have been as cohesive as it might have been
- The adults with incapacity input warranted longer time and more detailed consideration
- Examples of good practice were helpful
- Workshops are more helpful getting into detailed discussion
- Adults with incapacity presentation did not answer the issues operationally we experience
- Workshops were very interesting to a perspective of the work being undertaken in other areas
- Very useful and informative day
- Good networking
- Enjoyed the look at the statistics. More of this would be welcome
- Some rooms cold
- Easily accessed venue
- Discussion within Group E were very productive and worthwhile
- It would have been useful if delegates could have chosen workshops
- Being told by the Scottish Executive representative that local authorities have been given enough money is not helpful. Staff working in delayed discharge are being told there is no monies left.
- Workshops need to be structured and facilitated effectively for useful learning outcomes to be achieved
