@NIHRresearch funded study exploring the experiences & training needs of homecare workers supporting people with advanced illness in the last months of life.
Looking forward to our upcoming Homecare Research Forum on 7th May, 2-4pm. You can now register for your FREE place here: eventbrite.com/e/home-care-re… Talks will focus on the 'SUPPORTED' study (end of life care), and forging relationships between homecare workers and researchers.
📢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⤵️ homecareassociation.org.uk/resource/homec…
(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: homecarewg.org/modernslavery #socialcare #careworkervisa #carework
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
If you know any care workers, please tell them about Homecare Workers' Group. On sign up, you can select what type of care work you do - current focus is obvs domiciliary, but welcome to all. Can also join if you're no longer a care worker but might reconsider if things improve.
Join this care worker on an unexpected trip... to parliament! @unisontheunion - thanks so much for inviting me along to the parliamentary briefing about proposals for a National Care Service. #homecare #domiciliarycare #socialcare #communitycare #communitycareworker #carework
Come with me to see what it's like being a homecare worker on a Saturday morning shift. Would love to give more insight into the many varied things we get up to alongside those who draw on support, but here are the rushed in between bits I can show, which are just as important
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 HCW-SUPPORTED@hull.ac.uk
