Seminars
10.30am – 11.00am: Who Cares about Care
Nadra Ahmed OBE, Chair, National Care Association
Nadra will be taking a look at the challenges providers face and consider the opportunities arising from innovative partnerships. As the sector faces challenging times the pressure to work collaboratively is ever more pressing. Raising collective voices will overcome challenges more effectively than silo working models.
11:30am – 12.00pm: Dementia to Rementia: Reducing the symptoms of dementia with cognitive rehabilitation therapy
Jackie Pool, Director of Memory Care, Sunrise Senior Living
Jackie will introduce the key factors of nutrition, emotional health and cognitive therapy as rehabilitation approaches. She will describe how these approaches are delivered in the Enriched Memory Care with Therapy service at 4 Sunrise Senior Living Homes as part of a University of Exeter trial into the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation as a care service. The presentation will demonstrate how therapeutic techniques can be used to enable people with dementia to improve in every day function and describe the impact on the service, residents and their families.
12.45pm – 1.15pm: The Provider Information Return (PIR) – Making it work for You
Ed Watkinson, Residential Care & Inspection Specialist, Quality Compliance Systems Ltd
In this presentation Ed will talk through the content of the PIR and let attendees know about the recent changes in content and completion process. He will use his knowledge and understanding to show you how to turn the submitting of the PIR from something that has to be done, into a valuable quality assurance and improvement tool. He will also give you some valuable information about what to include in the PIR, and how the PIR can be used in a practical way to prepare you for what to expect during an inspection.
2.00pm – 2.30pm: What is Outstanding?
