This training has been developed to promote professional vigilance at the community level and give professionals the knowledge\, skills and confidence to work with affected individuals. \nThe course will explain what self-harm is\, why people use it as a means of coping\, and methods including typical and atypical to show the scale of harmful behaviours. Learners will understand that both Self-harm and suicidal thoughts are deeply complex and multifaceted and will explore what is meant by the term elevated risks. \nIt will explain why people may have suicidal thoughts\, how these range in frequency and intensity and will consider biological considerations for both issues as a way of explaining in more detail their nature including other models such as the Drive\, Soothe\, Threat system\, Lineham stress model and self-harm reinforcing cycle. \nLearner will use the information from the topic areas to start to build a picture of signs that a person may be struggling with suicidal thoughts and cover the NHS Connect\, Understand\, Assist conversation. \nLearners will understand the importance of prevention and protection in care plans rather than trying to gauge risk likelihood. Learners will be taught the concept of harm reduction\, including a variety of personal resources that people who use services can access. \nWe want providers to feel equipped to have conversations with people who they either know or suspect are affected and feel confident to provide person centred support from accessing this training. \nLearner requirements: It would be useful if learners either have prior knowledge of\, or undertakes formal care planning. \nLearning objectives:\n• Understand the definition of self-harm\, that it is a maladaptive behaviour in response to distressing thoughts and feelings. \n• Understand there are many ways a person can cause injury to themselves not just confined to typical known methods\, which will broaden learner knowledge\, understanding and vigilance to the subject.  \n• Understand the biological considerations to self-harm\, that stress\, trauma and difficult events/thoughts lead to a reduction in endorphins and causing injury activates the the body’s pain reward centres.\n• Look at some of the common reasons associated with suicide thoughts/intent but given the complexity of the issue there is rarely a single cause\, rather several factors are usually present.  \n• Understand the Lineham stress model as a way of describing suicidal thoughts/feelings. \n• Understand the scale of suicidal ideation/intent. \n• How knowledge of the subjects can be used to inform care plans.\n• Look at wellness plans\, understand what they are and how they can be used by people who use services \n• Different types of harm reduction methods and tools to reduce suicidal feelings.  \n• Consider the GREATDREAM tips for mental wellness as advocated by the NHS via the depression care pathway.  \n• Understand what organisations and resources can help.  \n• Providers will have an opportunity to reflect and discuss how they will implement learning within their own organisations.  \n \n*Please note: As per our T&C’s\, this course carries a fee in the event of non-attendance\, non-completion or late cancellation.\nBookings of more than two delegates per site may be amended to allow access to all member organisations at the discretion of HCPA.\nDelegates who are late may not be admitted into the training and a cost incurred

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.

SUMMARY:Emergency First Aid at Work
DESCRIPTION:Course fee: £95+VAT\nA significant saving on a national providers price of £205+VAT \nOne day course at HCPA Campus\n*This course involves physical activity. Delegates must be fit and able to participate*\n\nThe Emergency First Aid at Work qualification\, which conforms with HSE guidance\, provides a comprehensive set of practical skills needed by emergency first aid responders in most workplaces\, giving both the ability and knowledge to deal with first aid emergencies.\nThe qualification meets the requirements for training emergency first-aid responders in those organisations that have identified that staff need to be trained to this level within their first-aid needs assessment. The qualification covers knowledge such as the roles and responsibilities of the emergency first aid responder\, how to assess an incident and recognising signs and symptoms of injury. The qualification also covers first aid skills in CPR and use of an AED. In line with guidance provided by the HSE\, the qualification supports/approves emergency workplace first aid responders for a period of 3 years\, after which point delegates will need to retake the course. Therefore\, the qualification is valid for 3 years from the date of award. In addition to this\, it is recommended that delegates refresh their knowledge annually. \nTopics covered:\n• Roles and responsibilities of an emergency first aid responder\n• Undertake Primary surveys\n• Provide appropriate first aid for:\n• unresponsive casualties\n• choking\n• external bleeding\n• shock\n• minor injuries \nDelegates will undertake theory and practical assessments throughout the duration of the course\nIt is strongly advised that delegates are physically capable of completing the practical assessment and have a minimum of Level 1 in English to complete the theory assessment. \nHaving first aid measures in place to deal with potential accidents and incidents at work is an incredibly vital part of your health and safety procedure. Hopefully\, some of these skills won’t need to be put into use\, but it is essential that first aiders are ready to act in case of either minor injury or emergency. First aid regulations can be complicated however\, and it may be that you aren’t sure if you have the necessary cover in place. \nNeed First Aid Training?\nOur First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work courses are suitable for staff members who wish to learn new first aid skills and gain an awareness. \nHow Many First Aiders Are Required By Law?\nThe Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 and Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Regulation 18 require Care providers to provide adequate and appropriate first aid provision to meet the needs of the staff and people using services at all times.\nHowever\, what is adequate and appropriate is quite vague and it can be difficult to know how to ensure you are legally compliant. Therefore\, in order to ensure you do have the adequate number of first aiders in your organisation\, you should carry out a first aid needs assessment. \nHow to Carry Out a First Aid Needs Assessment\nCarrying out a first aid needs assessment may seem a daunting challenge but it really doesn’t need to be. The purpose of a first aid needs assessment is to ensure there are suitable provisions in place in case of an accident or incident. While it isn’t a legal requirement for the first aid needs assessment to be written down or formal\, keeping a written record is recommended. As an employer\, you can use this assessment to demonstrate to the HSE or local authority inspector how you decided what level of first aid provision is required.\nWhen carrying out your first aid needs assessment\, remember to take into account the practicalities of day-to-day work. For example\, what do you do if your first aider goes off sick or is on holiday? Do you have someone in their place that is trained to the same level? \nHow Many First Aiders Do I Need?\nHaving carried out a first aid needs assessment you are now in a place to understand how many first aiders are required.
