24-Hour care: the person centred approach
Join us for an upcoming webinar exploring the theme of person-centred care through a truly multidisciplinary lens. This engaging session brings together a panel of experienced clinicians and specialists to share their perspectives on what person-centred care means in practice.
Featuring Occupational Therapists Nicola Murphy and Jayne Brewer, Tissue Viability Nurse Sarah Thompson, and Accora Product Specialists Dean Curson and Tom Waplington-both formerly practising physiotherapists- this webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear from a diverse range of professional voices.
Through an open and interactive discussion, our speakers will explore how person-centred care is understood and applied across different roles and settings, offering practical insights that attendees can take back into their own practice.
Accora's Clinical Corner: the 24-Hour approach to care
This session brings together the key themes explored across our recent webinars on the 24-Hour approach to care. Over the past 3 months, we’ve examined the impact this can have on person-centred care, manual handling, clinical reasoning, tissue viability and postural care.
This chatty, podcast-style webinar offers a relaxed and interactive space to revisit the most important clinical messages from the quarter. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance and during the session, creating an opportunity to explore real-world challenges, clarify key concepts, and deepen understanding of best practice when supporting individuals within the 24-Hour period.
We will also highlight relevant intervention solutions and explore practical strategies for teaching and supporting others, and we will share our 24-Hour care guide with attendees after the session to support ongoing learning and application in practice.
Whether you joined us throughout the series or are looking for a concise and practical summary, this session will consolidate learning and provide actionable insights to apply in practice.

Environments and the impact on clinical communication with Elana Moore
Environments are never neutral- they actively shape how people feel, behave and function. Wherever you live or work, sensory factors such as noise, lighting, layout and overall sensory load influence out ability to regulate, our attention and the ability to engage with others.
This session explores how sensory environments can either support or hinder everyday functioning in care settings. Drawing on sensory science and clinical insight, it will highlight how sensory awareness and small environmental changes can have a significant impact on wellbeing, clinical interactions and outcomes.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to recognise sensory barriers and make practical, realistic adjustments to create environments that better support both staff and those they work with.

What does person-centred care mean to you?
Person-centred care is one of those phrases that everyone in health and social care uses, and almost no one defines the same way. It appears in policy documents, training materials, care plans, and inspection reports- yet ask ten clinicians what it means in practice, and you'll get ten different answers. So at our recent 24-Hour Care Conference in Watford, we decided to do exactly that. We handed out a card with one prompt: 'Person-centred care is…'
