New online video training for care home staff
Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB and Wessex and the West of England Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), funded by Health Education England, have collaborated to produce a series of free videos and e-learning materials to support staff working in care homes to care for residents who are at risk of deterioration.
The short videos are available online here and describe how to take measurements from residents correctly (such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation), spots the signs of deterioration, and prevent the spread of infection.
RESTORE2™ was developed by Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB in collaboration with the Wessex Academic Health Science Network. The ambition is that the package remains free to use across any relevant healthcare provider. This agreement entitles the named organisation to access and use all of the trademarked and copyrighted paper based RESTORE2™ deterioration and training products and to disseminate these among relevant providers of healthcare as part of physical deterioration initiatives within their locality.
The social agreement outlines the commitments that both the sponsoring organisation (the organisation promoting the roll out of RESTORE2™) and the receiving organisation (care or nursing home) make to ensure the successful adoption of RESTORE2™. It is not a binding legal contract but is helpful in supporting all parties to understand their role in the programme.
