Infection control is arguably the most important thing to get right and stay on top of for care home across the UK.
It is critical to maximise the health and safety of residents, staff, visitors and contractors by reducing the risks of infections. It is also key to bear up to the scrutiny of CQC inspections – following best practice procedures.
The podcast outlines the importance of constantly reviewing performance if you are to maximise the prevention and control of infections to keep care home residents out of harm’s way.
The focus on energy efficiency
With energy prices set to increase and care homes seeking to decarbonise, there is a continued focus on energy efficiency for managers and owners. In the podcast, we outline ways of improving efficiency and reducing bills whilst also maximising resident safety and comfort.
