This is a video recording of the second of a series of four webinars reflecting on what England should learn from the experiences of the Long-Term Care (LTC) systems in Japan, France, Denmark and the Netherlands during COVID-19, as part of the Social Care COVID Resilience and Recovery project carried out by Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) at LSE and the Nuffield Trust and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
In this webinar held on the 23rd February 2023, after a short introduction to the project by Adelina Comas-Herrera (LSE, UK) and Natasha Curry (Nuffield Trust, UK), Laura Schlepper (Nuffield Trust, UK) and Professor Tine Rostgaard (Roskilde University) consider the characteristics of the Danish LTC system, the general impacts of COVID-19 on people who receive and provide care, the LTC system’s response to COVID-19 and what lessons could be learnt from the Danish experience.
The project identified as key areas for learning from the Danish experience:
- How some of the characteristics of the Danish Long-Term Care system such as strong local governance, partnerships, integration and public and political support for LTC facilitated the response to the pandemic
- The importance of having a well-trained and well-supported professional workforce
- The characteristics of care homes: modern, home-like facilities
- High-quality data and information systems
