Healthcare Assistants and Support Workers Delivering the Cavendish Review Conference - 22nd Jan 2014

LONDON - Oct. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Following her recent Independent Review into Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) and Support Workers in NHS and Social Care Settings, Camilla Cavendish developed a series of recommendations aimed at improving the quality and safety of care delivered by unregistered support staff. Join Camilla Cavendish and the key sector bodies, including, Health Education England, Skills for Health and Skills for Care, at this timely and important conference to look at the Government response and the recommendations that will be taken forward.

Putting the competencies required to work in a care setting at the centre of healthcare delivery, the review sets out some key areas of focus, including:

• The development of common standards of training for HCAs and support staff across health and social care
• A nationally recognised ‘Certificate of Fundamental Care’
• Providing assurances, to the public and providers, as to the quality of care expected of and delivered by HCAs and support staff

This unique new conference will provide a practical guide to implementing these recommendations on the ground, featuring examples of where leading health and care employers are already delivering similar schemes. These include ‘best in class’ existing HCA development pathways and pioneers of values based recruitment. Hear the latest guidance and information on how you can deliver similar programmes to improve the quality and safety of HCA and support staff practice, and learn how unregistered support staff can be integrated fully within the professional care family.

Attend this conference to take away transferrable learning on developing a system that is workable in hospital settings, as well as a roadmap to the delivery of Cavendish’s recommendations in primary, community and social care settings.
