Purity Productions has just delivered the sixth annual conference for client the National Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Centre.  Held at the MacDonald Burlington Hotel in Central Birmingham, the conference brought together academics, professionals and government organisations to discuss the work of the GSF.  The GSF is the national training and coordinating centre for all GSF programmes, enabling frontline staff to provide quality care for people nearing the end of life. The work is seen as being a fundamental element within Department of Health (DoH) strategy and Professor Sir Mike Richards from DoH was in attendance at the conference as a keynote speaker to share his views with the 250+ delegates.

The day was hosted by Professor Keri Thomas, Head of the GSF and chaired by Helen Meehan. Delegates enjoyed a full day of presentations on a wide variety of subject matters and interactive workshops. Following the conference a number of Care Homes received presentation plaques from Martin Green, Chief Executive, English Community Care Asociation, at an award ceremony recognising their accreditation to the GSF Quality Hallmark.

Rob Quinn from Purity Productions comments, ” We were appointed to work with the GSF in January of this year and are proud to have produced this annual conference, this is clearly an area of vast and growing importance. The central location of the venue has enabled a strong attendance today of delegates from across the country. Looking ahead to 2011 we know this event will be part of a larger convention within the Advanced Care Planning Symposium and we look forward to continuing our work with GSF”.
