Infection Prevention and Control: Protecting yourself and the people you care for
2021-02-15 14:30 (Europe/London)
We know that great progress is being made vaccinating vulnerable people and care staff against COVID 19, but the risk of infection remains and the new variant of COVID potentially increases the risk as infection is spread more easily. The Department of Health and Social Care and the Better Care Fund team are hosting three webinars focusing on Infection Prevention and Control during the week beginning 15th February and invite you to join us to ask questions and remind yourselves of the important things to do to keep yourself and the people you care for safe.
Participants will:

Learn about risk factors and best practice for Infection Prevention and Control
Share practice, learning and ideas
Be able to ask questions and hear from experts, including care home providers

The webinars are open to all, but they are aimed primarily at care staff involved in infection prevention and control in care homes and in the community.
You will hear from Deborah Sturdy, Chief Nurse in the Department of Health and Social Care, Rian Gleave, Regional Assurance Lead for Yorkshire & Humber (DHSC), and Lizzie Hancock, Care Manager, Fulford Nursing Homes
As well as the speakers, a panel of experts put together to answer your questions include Liz Jones, Policy Director at the National Care Forum, Emma Self, NHSE lead for Enhanced Health in Care Homes and a representative from Public Health England.
A short animation developed by Roots and Wings will also be shown.

Weekly Q&A with Care Homes

CQC's monitoring approach webinar
2021-09-20 15:00 - 16:00
Join our latest webinar to hear how we’re monitoring and prioritising inspections at the moment. You’ll also be able to ask questions through the live chat.
This event is aimed at providers and professionals who work in health and social care, organisations who represent them and other stakeholders. It will take place on 20 September at 15:00 and will be led by Sue Howard, Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care.
We’ll discuss our monitoring approach, which is a development from the transitional monitoring we did last year. The developments carry on the progress in how we monitor services in three key areas by:

improving our ability to monitor risk to help us be more targeted in our regulatory activity
bringing information together in one place for inspection teams, presented in a way that supports inspectors with their decision making
testing elements of how we want to work in the future, including how we provide a more up-to-date view of risk for people who use services.

You can find more information on what to expect from our monitoring approach on our website.
