This guidance is also for adults with cognitive impairment (mild cognitive impairment and mild to moderate dementia).\nThat exercise programmes be of sufficient intensity and duration and be delivered in a way that ensures safety and considers functional abilities.\n\nCourse entry criteria \n\nDelegates must hold a Level 2 Chair-based exercise instructor qualification\nDelegates need to have delivered 2 classes a week for approximately 6 months (approximately 50 hours).\n\n Successful course completion requirements (you will be guided through these on the course!) \n\nPlanning a 15-minute practical strength and balance lesson.\nPractical observation of the 15-minute practical strength and balance lesson\n\nLearning outcomes \n\nTo understand the role of Strength & Balance exercise in the prevention of falls in older adults. Includes the impact of medication on balance\, the main muscles\, their actions\, 1:1 Strength & Balance exercise delivery\nTo understand the importance of ensuring that class participation is appropriate and effective for all individuals.

SUMMARY:Nutrition CHAMPION - Application
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nCourse fees: HCPA Full Member: Fully funded* | ACE Member: £264+VAT | Associate Member: £300+VAT | Non-member: £400+VAT\nFour day programme open for applications\nDay 1: 15/01/2026 | Day 2: 16/01/2026 | Day 3: 21/01/2026 | Day 4: 22/01/2026\nAll sessions must be attended \nLead Excellence in Care with HCPA Champions\nEmpower your team by developing experienced colleagues to become HCPA Champions – individuals who influence positive\, high-quality change within their care services. \nWhat is an HCPA Champion?\nA Champion is a trained experienced care professional who drives improvements in care practices\, embeds governance\, and models excellence across the organisation.\nThe programmes equip Champions with the confidence\, tools\, and knowledge to influence change\, support colleagues\, and apply best practice consistently.\nChampions revalidate every two years by evidencing change through action plans\, case studies\, and continuing professional development. \nWhy have Champions?\nCare Managers cannot do everything\, they need support from trusted staff to ensure the service remains compliant with evolving national and local guidance. Champions mentor peers\, influence care delivery\, and maintain elevated care standards through ongoing governance and learning. \nWe suggest care providers have a Champion in each relevant topic area. To ensure quality and focus\, each individual may only be a Champion in up to two topic areas: \nThe Nutrition CHAMPION course will enable Care professionals to take on the role of Champion within their organisation for this topic. The Champion will have a clear understanding of local and national guidance and legislation for and will cascade this information amongst care teams\, improving the safety and quality of care for individuals. \nLearning Outcomes:\n• Define the role of a Nutrition Champion and explain how this role benefits their organisation by promoting person-centred\, evidence-based nutritional care.\n• Describe common nutritional needs and challenges in adult care\, including the impact of malnutrition\, dehydration\, and specific dietary requirements on health and wellbeing.\n• Explain relevant local and national guidance\, legislation\, and best practices relating to nutrition in adult care settings.\n• Apply the SMART goal-setting process to develop tailored nutrition care plans that support individual preferences and health outcomes.\n• Demonstrate effective communication techniques to promote positive conversations about nutrition and provide supportive responses when individuals face barriers to healthy eating.\n• Implement person-centred approaches that promote dignity\, choice\, and independence in relation to food and drink.\n• Analyse barriers to good nutrition in care settings and identify strategies to overcome these\, such as environmental\, cultural\, or organisational challenges.\n• Evaluate the importance of multi-disciplinary collaboration\, including input from dietitians\, speech and language therapists\, and other professionals\, to support individuals with complex nutritional needs.\n• Assess the effectiveness of nutrition interventions and care practices\, recommending improvements to enhance health outcomes and reduce risks such as malnutrition and dehydration.\n• Develop a SMART goal-driven action plan to embed good nutritional care principles within services\, raising awareness\, reducing risks\, and improving the overall quality of care. \nFind out more and apply here \nNote – This is an application\, not a booking. If approved\, you will be invited to book.

Champions mentor peers\, influence care delivery\, and maintain elevated care standards through ongoing governance and learning. \nWe suggest care providers have a Champion in each relevant topic area. To ensure quality and focus\, each individual may only be a Champion in up to two topic areas: \nThe Enabling & Posture CHAMPION equips staff to learn how simple changes can be made to improve functional independence\, so that individuals can fully participate in their life physically and mentally\, thereby improving overall health outcomes and quality of life\, and supporting people to live longer better. \nLearning Outcomes:\n• Define the role of an Enabling Champion and explain how this role can benefit their organisation by fostering a culture of independence and active participation.\n• Describe the anatomy and physiology relevant to mobility\, including the benefits of physical activity and encouraging participation in activities of daily living (ADLs) through normal movement.\n• Explain the principles of an enabling care culture\, including how to identify potential problems and appropriately signpost to appropriate professionals.\n• Apply the SMART goal-setting process to develop personalised mobility and enabling plans within their own workplace.\n• Demonstrate effective communication and motivational strategies\, including goal setting\, to support and encourage individuals’ participation in mobility and ADLs.\n• Implement therapeutic handling techniques\, such as therapeutic touch\, to facilitate safe and effective movement.\n• Analyse posture and positioning principles\, including joint positioning and optimal alignment\, and apply methods to check and improve sitting posture.\n• Evaluate signs of acute deterioration using tools such as RESTORE2 and NEWS2\, and identify appropriate actions and referrals.\n• Assess the impact of enabling practices on individual independence and well-being\, and recommend improvements to care plans and organisational culture.\n• Develop a comprehensive action plan using SMART goals to promote an enabling care culture that supports safe mobility\, encourages physical activity\, and ensures timely response to health deterioration. \nFind out more and apply here \nNote – This is an application\, not a booking.
