11.30am – 12.00pm: Creating a culture for Outstanding service
Chris Gage, Managing Director, Ladder to the Moon
71% of CQC KLOE’s refer to creativity and innovation to achieve Outstanding ratings. In this session Chris Gage, Director of the Centre for Creativity and Innovation in Care, unpacks the strategic and practical approaches to developing an organisational culture that consistently innovates, improves and delivers high quality outcomes. The session will be highly interactive sharing case studies and practical tools.
12.45pm – 1.15pm: The growing importance of self-awareness
Ed Watkinson, Director of Care Quality, Quality Compliance Systems Ltd
The talk will focus on the increasing importance of auditing, governance, sharing information, self-awareness and providing robust evidence to the regulator on the quality of the service being provided. It will relate to the new Key Lines of Enquiry, reduced CQC resources and their reliance on receiving information being provided about quality prior to a site visit, and the impact of the Provider Information Collection. The presentation will also show how technology can help and that the provision of evidence doesn’t necessarily need to be a burden and extra work, but how it can be fitted in amongst the daily activities of running the service.
2.00pm – 2.30pm: Dementia and distress behaviours
Peter Gathercole, Nurse and Trainer, Endeavour Care Training
The session will discuss how dementia can cause behaviour changes that can be confusing, irritating or difficult for others to deal with, leaving carers, partners and family members feeling stressed, irritable or helpless. By learning to understand the meaning behind the actions, it can be easier to stay calm and deal effectively with the challenges that arise. By showing the ability to understand and read the situation by use of good communication tools and the ability to read body language, you understand and recognise the build up to the distress that the person has, which is causing the behaviour.
