Beskrivning
Learning to Care: The Care Home Staff Guideis an invaluable resource for anyone interested in pursuing a professional career in caring.Through their dedication and commitment, care homes have demonstrated the important role they play in the UK, not only in improving the quality of life for elderly and vulnerable people, but also in the survival of the NHS, which has been particularly evident in the Covid-19 pandemic.This essential guide will appeal to care assistants currently working in a care home setting, students, those thinking of changing career, as well as voluntary carers looking after a relative or friend at home.Learning to Careis divided into three main sections: Behavioural Training, which outlines detailed training for care staff and examines attitudes, behaviour and methods, Practical Training, which focuses on essential skills and knowledge such as care planning, nutrition, and lifting, Fire Training, which examines the risks, precautions and critical procedures particularly around fire safety.Written in straightforward language and supported by helpful illustrations,Learning to Care: The Care Home Staff Guidebrings together hands-on information and insightful perspectives, covering everything carers need to know in their role. This book shines a light on the skill and competency required in this often overlooked, but crucial, sector of the healthcare industry.

Recensioner i media

All of us who are concerned with providing the highest quality of care for the elderly are also concerned about how we can ensure that proper training is given to those to whom that care is entrusted. We have reviewed the [RDB Training] package and believe it has a major contribution to make by providing care home managers and staff with a comprehensive range of basic skills critical to giving elderly people the quality of care which we would like to see become standard in this country.
