Healthcare Assistants are integral to the provision of high-quality health and social care provided by nursing homes within communities and in primary care settings. The role they fulfil is intrinsic to supporting the day-to-day living needs of people requiring the high-dependency, person-centred care that is specialised within these dedicated healthcare settings. It is vital healthcare assistants are supported in their professional development and this course will help them further enhance the quality of care they provide by providing them with deeper knowledge and a broader range of skills to achieve excellence in person-centred care.
