SUMMARY:New Homecare Falls Pathway Webinar
DESCRIPTION:2 hour webinar via Virtual Classroom\n\nNew Homecare Falls Pathway Webinar \nWhen a person has fallen:\n• Do you/your staff know when to call 999\, when to contact Avoidance of Admission Services\, or when it is safe to assist the person up from the floor?\n• Do you/your staff know how to safely support a person to get up after a fall? \nIt is extremely important that Emergency Services (999) are only contacted when necessary. Calling 999 inappropriately can place additional pressure on an already overburdened service\, potentially delaying response times for life-threatening emergencies. It is also important to recognise that not everyone requires – or wishes – to be admitted to hospital following a fall. \nThis webinar has been developed to support homecare providers in understanding local guidance and best practice for managing falls in a person’s own home. It will provide practical advice on responding to falls\, reducing associated risks\, and supporting individuals in a safe and person-centred way. \nThe session will introduce the Hertfordshire Management of a Person who has Fallen in Homecare Pathway\, a new local pathway designed to guide decision-making following a fall. It will also highlight the wide range of services\, resources and support now available to providers\, including how and when to access Avoidance of Admission Services in your area. \nSign up to build confidence in:\n• Making appropriate decisions following a fall\n• Using local services effectively\n• Safely supporting individuals to get up from the floor\n• Embedding best practice aligned to local guidance within your service \nLearning Outcomes:\n• Understand the key principles of the Hertfordshire Management of a Person who has Fallen in Home Care Pathway\n• Identify when it is appropriate to call 999\, access Avoidance of Admission Services\, or safely manage a fall within the home environment\n• Describe best practice approaches to supporting a person following a fall\, in line with local guidance\n• Recognise the importance of reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and supporting person-centred decision making\n• Navigate and access the range of local services\, resources and support available to homecare providers following a fall \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n

SUMMARY:Falls & Frailty CHAMPION - Application

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: \nThis Falls & Frailty 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 Falls and Frailty Champion and explain how this role benefits their organisation by promoting awareness\, prevention\, and safe practice.\n• Describe the overlap between falls and frailty\, the importance of awareness\, and current legislation\, guidance\, and evidence-based approaches.\n• Explain the differences between dementia and delirium\, and their link to falls and frailty.\n• Apply the SMART goal-setting process to create personalised plans aimed at reducing falls and managing frailty.\n• Demonstrate how to identify and assess an risk of falls and frailty\, and how to monitor and review these risks regularly.\n• Demonstrate safe techniques for helping an individual to get up from the floor after a fall\, following local care home fall pathway procedures.\n• Analyse a range of effective interventions to reduce the risk of falls and frailty\, considering both physical and mental health factors\, and the importance of enabling care to prevent sedentary behaviour.\n• Evaluate the role of community and multi-disciplinary support in managing falls and frailty\, and identify appropriate referral and collaboration pathways.\n• Assess the impact of falls prevention strategies and frailty management on individual wellbeing and care outcomes\, recommending improvements where necessary.\n• Develop a SMART goal-driven action plan to embed falls and frailty prevention into everyday care practices\, ensuring evidence-based enabling care and collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams. \nFind out more and apply here \nNote – This is an application\, not a booking. If approved\, you will be invited to book.
