Why is Mouth Care and Oral Hygiene Important?
Effective oral hygiene practices (mouth care) are necessary to ensure the maintenance of effective oral health through the removal of bacterial plaque, dry mouth care and denture care.

Why Is It Important?
Nursing documentation is the cornerstone of best practice. It serves many diverse, complex and important functions from ensuring consistency of clinical care and good communication between practitioners, to providing evidence in a court of law that patients have received appropriate, high-quality, evidence-based care… or, indeed, that they have not. The phrase ‘if it is not documented, it was not done’ should be the guiding principle used when documenting care in order to ensure that a clear picture of a patient’s care history can be gained.

Gain an understanding of how to make good clinical entries

Our Stoma Care Training course allows learners to gain theoretical and practical stoma care knowledge.
Overview
Our stoma care training course is intended to cover all aspects of safe principles of stoma care including practical application within a classroom environment.

Why Is It Important?
The prevalence of stomas in the UK is significant, one in 335 people in the UK are currently living with a stoma (Colostomy UK, 2023). It is crucial to recognise that people of all age groups can have a stoma, emphasising the widespread impact and relevance of stoma care training.
While specialist stoma nurses typically provide specialised care for stoma patients, it is essential to acknowledge that these individuals may also receive care within clinical settings, where non-specialist healthcare professionals may be responsible for their well-being. Consequently, it becomes imperative for these healthcare professionals to possess a fundamental understanding of stoma management to effectively address the stoma-related health issues that patients may encounter.
In both routine stoma care and situations where complications arise, non-specialist healthcare professionals should be equipped with the necessary knowledge to recognise when it is appropriate to seek assistance from a stoma care nurse. By understanding the basics of stoma management, these professionals can ensure that patients receive the appropriate care and support, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient outcomes and quality of life.

Stoma Care Training Session Outline
Understanding the anatomy and physiology of stomas and different stoma types
Techniques for accurate measurement and template cutting for stomas
Proper procedures for emptying drainable stoma pouches
Understanding the process of changing stoma appliances, including both one-piece and two-piece options

Why Is Multiple Sclerosis Care Important?
Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults. It is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, and a lifelong condition that usually follows a relapsing or progressive course and results in a gradual accumulation of permanent disability. MS causes a multitude of symptoms that affect physical and cognitive function as well as mood; symptoms vary between individuals and for the same individual. Although disease-modifying drugs (DMDs), which can change the disease course, are available for people with active relapsing disease, there is no cure. MS affects every aspect of people’s lives – work, family, social life –and is characterised by unpredictability and variability. This means a holistic approach to care is required to meet the needs of people living with the condition.

The course covers all aspects of Parkinson’s disease care, including understanding the condition, recognising symptoms, and developing strategies to manage associated risks, such as falls.
By the end of the course, healthcare professionals will be equipped with the expertise to provide high-quality care and support to individuals living with Parkinson’s disease.
Why Is It Important?
Parkinson’s Disease Care Training is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide effective care and support for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that can cause tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and other symptoms that can fluctuate throughout the day. 
Healthcare professionals must understand the importance of administering Parkinson’s medication on time, every time, to help manage the patient’s condition and ensure they receive the appropriate care while in a care facility. By receiving comprehensive training on Parkinson’s disease care, healthcare professionals can deliver personalised care and support that can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life.

Empowering Healthcare Professionals in Diabetes Care and Insulin Administration


Why Diabetes and Insulin Administration Important?
With over 4 million people living with diabetes in the UK, including both diagnosed and undiagnosed cases, the prevalence of this condition is alarmingly high. Type 2 diabetes, which constitutes the majority of cases, has been growing at a rapid rate and is now recognised as one of the most common long-term health conditions worldwide.

Universal Credit is a means tested benefit that was first launched in 2013, and it replaces six of the older style benefits; child tax credits, working tax credits, income support, income-based Jobseekers Allowance and income-based Employment and Support Allowance.

In this free webinar welfare benefits specialist Nicola Spruce will explain more about what Universal Credit is and how the government’s ‘Move to UC’ strategy might affect you or somebody you are supporting.

Join this free 1 hour presentation to find out more about the key aspects of Universal Credit and how you can prepare for being asked to move onto Universal Credit. There will be a live Q&A at the end of the presentation.

Nicola will explain:
What Universal Credit is
The Universal Credit claim process
How Universal Credit awards are calculated
What help is available for disabled people via Universal Credit
How Universal Credit compares to older style Welfare Benefits
More details about the government’s strategy for moving people onto Universal Credit
