About the RCPA

Supporting Social Care Providers in Somerset – we provide a comprehensive service to our members which includes but not limited to, signposting, resources, and support in relation to a wide range of issues. We facilitate engagement across the integrated health and care system. Our members include both profit and not-for-profit organisations providing home care, care homes, supported living and community support. We assist our members through collaboration, negotiation and lobbying in relation to the development and delivery of care and support. Acting as a voice for care providers, we aim to represent the views of all our members, bringing their concerns and queries to the attention of service commissioners as well as government and regulatory bodies.

We are delighted to announce our upcoming conference, ‘THE Care Conference for Somerset, hosted by the RCPA’ will be held on Tuesday 12th November at Taunton Racecourse. The event will feature an array of speakers and exhibitors.

Testimonials

RCPA offer valuable information to our organisation.
Care Home Manager
After being a Registered manager and a director of a previous company, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to restart a new company. Re-registering as an RCPA member and being on this platform kept us up to date and aware of changes in Health and Social care e.g. Digitalisation, DSPT, CQC, Local Authority, Procurement, Budget etc. When one goes through that dark experience in life of losing a company, which was my experience, it can be so isolating, however, I can’t thank you enough because attending events and managers’ forums and having health and social care updates helped in rebuilding of our new service and CQC preparation. We are now CQC registered. Therefore, we have decided to renew membership, because RCPA is worth it, accommodating, helpful, and fit for purpose
