Are you a homecare worker with experience of supporting people living with dementia and carers who live at a distance from one another? If you have experience in providing this kind of support, please consider taking part in this new research project

[SUPPORTEDstudy @SUPPORTEDstudy]

We have been very quiet recently, but excited to report that we have been meeting with colleagues in Hull, Sheffield, London & Australia to discuss research findings and developing training resources to support homecare workers at end-of-life. #socialcare

[Homecare Association @homecareassn]

📢New report📢

Expecting the unexpected highlights the challenges faced by people leaving hospital, the importance of getting the discharge process right and the crucial role #homecare providers play in improving outcomes for people - Read more here⤵️

[CareProviderAlliance @CPA_SocialCare]

Our member @homecareassn's report reveals:
35% said most discharges they were involved in were not safe
55% of providers said discharge paperwork doesn't reflect the person's needs & views
63% said people are being discharged from hospital too soon, leading to readmission.

Really important resources - please share widely. HCWs recruited overseas can be at significant risk of exploitation

[Rachel Kelso @RachelKelso12]

(1/4) Great to see evidence of innovation designed to support overseas care workers. Individuals who have come to the UK via the Health & Care Worker Visa scheme are at risk of exploitation by unscrupulous employers: https://t.co/jocp4mwn4S

New paper from our SUPPORTED study of homecare at end-of-life. Findings from a rapid review of homecare @ EOL. Key findings - HCWs provide support in complex situations & emotionally demanding situations, yet can be isolated and under-valued within the wider care team #socialcare

Homecare workers - do you work 'in a bubble' & with only a 'breadcrumb trail' of notes and information to connect you to colleagues? See below for information about @RachelKelso12's work to bring together homecare workers for support & to get a place at the policy table ⬇️

[SUPPORTEDstudy @SUPPORTEDstudy]

So good to hear about the important work you are doing to bring the voice of homecare workers to debates on social care delivery and policy ☺️

This is a powerful demonstration of the importance #homecare. We are researching experiences of homecare workers at end of life (& this really resonates!). If you are a homecare worker providing EOL care in #Hull #Bradford or #Bromley do get in touch at [email protected]

@Prof_Liz_Walker @MJJohnson_HYMS @CatForward Looks interesting!

[Palliative Medicine @PalliativeMedJ]

Participants articulate gratitude in five ways: (1) appreciating others; (2) love; (3) need to reciprocate; (4) appreciating the little things; (5) solace amid serious illness #hpm #hapc https://t.co/zx01KR7YLu
