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: 12/01/2026 | Day 2: 19/01/2026 | Day 3: 26/01/2026 | Day 4: 02/02/2026\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: \n Care Culture | Data Security & Protection | Dementia | Enablement | End of Life | Engagement | Falls & Frailty | Infection Prevention & Control | Medication | Mental Capacity | Mental Health Service | Positive Behaviour Support (ADS) | Skin Health | Safeguarding \nFind out more and apply here \nNote – This is an application\, not a booking.
