June saw
the release of our new e-learning course on The Common Induction

Continuing Healthcare
We have
added a new key feature to the NHS Continuing
Healthcare course in the form of a case study
using the Decision Support Tool. The DST provides a framework
to bring together and document the various needs in eleven
'care domains', or generic areas of
need.
Understanding how to
apply the Decision Support Tool is essential learning for
anyone involved in the implementation of the National
Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare. The case study
provides a real-life example of the completed DST paperwork
and includes specific comments by a senior
professional at a leading PCT.

Mental
Capacity Act 2005
The Act and
its implications have generated considerable amounts of press
copy and understanding its provisions is vitally important for
those working in the sector. To bring these key points into
sharper focus, we have now produced a series of interactive
units which examine several case studies in depth in each of
the areas of Mental Health, Acute Hospitals, Community and
Primary Care, and Residential Settings. These MCA Specialist
Units use real-life situations to bring the
Act and its effects to life and are available as a separate
course or as an add-on to the main Mental Capacity Act
2005 course.
Buy both courses
together and benefit from a budget-friendly 25% discount!
