This short video showcases the new hydration at Home Toolkit (including the e-learning module) launched by Wessex AHSN in September 2020. The toolkit includes an E-learning module and hydration resources (e.g. leaflet and poster for the general public) and is primarily aimed at community carers looking after older people (but the key messages are suitable for any carer including those working in acute care settings)

This 2-minute video aims to showcase a project to improve hydration in residents living in Hampshire County Council care homes. The project, piloted from April to December 2018 in 17 care homes, involved several aspects, including instigating hydration champions, training care home managers and hydration champions, using fun and creative ways to improve hydration and sharing good practice between homes.
