Can care environments be sustainable?
This webinar will ask what we mean by sustainability in care home design. With homes typically being refurbished every 5-7 years, making sure that designs are as environmentally friendly as possible is growing increasingly important, but how do we achieve this? We shall look at the tension which exists within the sector between meeting the needs of the various stakeholder groups and designing sustainably. The webinar will conclude by looking at things we can all do at a micro level.
End of life care - what do I need to know?
Identifying when patients are in their last year of life can be challenging. The same can be said for recognising dying. This webinar explores what is available to help us help the people we care for to better plan for the end of their life, and when the time comes to die well. Attendees will learn about the myths associated with palliative and end of life care, and have the opportunity to ask questions towards the end of the session.
Keeping Everyone Safe: Infection prevention during joint visits
We look at several aspects of infection prevention and control that are crucial to patient / client safety. Evonne will explain how micro-organisms behave, their capability of surviving in the environment and the modes of transmission. We then assess the risks in what we do, and what we need to do in order to prevent the risk of new infections spreading to both the patient / client and ourselves.
