Abstract

The IHSCM supports health and social care managers by helping them to meet the challenges of the unusual as well as everyday operations through understanding, developing, sharing and celebrating good practice for the benefit of people that need advocacy or assistance. In a myriad of ways this makes the discipline complicated by definition. The IHSCM’s aim was heightened during the CoViD 19 crisis between 2020 and 2022, made worse in the UK by poor strategic leadership, currently under investigation through the Hallett Inquiry. A conversation with Richard Shircore towards the end of 2022 opining the lack of lessons learnt during the course of the pandemic. This led to the idea of the ‘CoViD Reader’.
