The Proactive Healthcare of Older People in Care Homes Study - Funded by the Dunhill Medical Trust to Improve Quality of Healthcare for Care Home Residents
Follow-on work from @PEACHStudy was led by @nchadborn to consider the evidence says about the GPs’ role in improvement in care homes. Evidence is scant overall but some important signals about what works well, useful for those working around Enhanced Health in Care Homes.
Care home residents will remain the most vulnerable to COVID, even as the nation prepares for recovery. Providers can learn more about @ProtectTrial to help prevent COVID in care homes at the below webinar.
This work, designed to help protect care homes against further COVID-19 outbreaks, can only work if care homes sign up to support it. Please join the webinars to learn more.
The penultimate, and possibly most important paper from @PEACHStudy is published in @Age_and_Ageing today including insights on measurement for change, the role of GPs, and where CGA fits in when running improvement collaborative’s with care homes: https://t.co/RLErzHa1yX

BGS Vice President for Academic Affairs @adamgordon1978 appeared last night on @BBCNewsnight saying despite #carehomes 'working very hard' to keep residents safe from #COVID19 it remains challenging to isolate people safely. See his interview at 22:30 https://t.co/8CnExtBe25

We are now 13 weeks into UK lockdown affecting many aspects of our lives. Spare a thought for families who haven’t seen their loved ones living in care homes either. We are conducting a study exploring their experiences https://t.co/2IQOGMdlaB. @Jayne_NurseProf
