We know that whilst you are busy doing great work in care homes, it can be really challenging to keep up with new guidance, especially now. Often you are left to figure out on your own how to turn this into practice in your home.

You want to keep your residents safe and healthy. Research has shown that spotting when someone is unwell can be particularly difficult in a care home setting, and sadly this means opportunities to help people at an early stage may be missed. Particularly now, with concerns of COVID-19, we all want to make sure that any illness or cause of deterioration is spotted quickly, so people can get the right care for them.

We would like to help make it easy for you. As an NHS organisation who works with both health and social care, we can offer you:

• Free, bite-sized training, an opportunity to ask questions and share with your peers.
• You will leave with practical next steps and more confidence in supporting your residents and your team.

What will I learn?

RESTORE2TM is an award-winning physical deterioration and escalation package designed specifically for residential and nursing homes. It can also be used in the domiciliary care sector.

The tool can be used to support recognition of early soft signs of deterioration, taking observations, responding and escalate using a common language with other parts of the health and care system so that you can get the help you need quicker. The tool encompasses NEWS2 (national early warning score) and SBARD (situation, background, assessment, recommendation and decision) for communicating concerns.

The training aims to either refresh your existing knowledge or upskill if this is an area of practice you are less familiar with, and ultimately to give you the confidence to manage these difficult situations.

RESTORE2TM was developed by West Hampshire CCG and the Wessex Patient Safety Collaborative, and is being rolled out in other areas across the country.

1hr 30mins with optional Q&A session afterwards
