Care home training films pass 500,000 milestone

A series of free online training videos aimed at care home staff have recently reached more than 500,000 views on YouTube.

A collaboration by Wessex and the West of England Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) and Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG, and funded by Health Education England, the short videos describe how to take measurements from residents, spot signs of deterioration and prevent the spread of infection.

They have been described as having ‘the potential to save many lives and tens of millions of pounds.’

There are 14 videos in total.
