Tools and Support for Advance Care Planning and Palliative Care
In July 2008 the Government launched its End of Life Care strategy as a benchmark to help
improve the quality of care for people at the end of life. Our practical CD-ROM and
accompanying handbook help health and care providers to implement the strategy. They also
guide professionals through legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act, as well as
providing: time-saving best practice template policies; information sheets on key issues;
staff training presentations; customisable checklists; and feedback forms. The publication
ensures that documentation meets the required standards and frees up staff to focus on
supporting those at the end of their lives.
AQAA Completion Tools for Care Homes
From January 2008 care homes have been awarded a quality star rating, based on the
answers given in their Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) and following a key
inspection. Our practical CD-ROM and accompanying handbook help you to fill in the AQAA so
as to maximise your chances of achieving a 3-star rating. They also guide you through
legislation such as the National Standards and the Mental Capacity Act, as well as providing
templates and model record-keeping forms to ensure your documentation meets the required
standards.
Professional Observation and Assessment of Children from Birth to Five
From September 2008 the Early Years Foundation Stage must be implemented. To be fully
prepared for inspection, Early Years Managers need to plan, observe and assess all children
from birth to five years old. Our practical CD-ROM and accompanying handbook help you to
do this, and provide expert guidance and ready prepared model documents, including:
- sample activity sheets
- worked example observation documents
- checklists for formal and informal evidence gathering
- model planning documents.
