Basic first aid
and where you are required to handle food ... basic food hygiene.
Anyone can be trained in these things.... but it takes good carers and managers to keep checks that these things are being done day in day out.
I am trained to NVQ level 3, with a hell of a lot of other things that I trained for..... the last nursing home that I worked in was a stickler for training courses....but its all worth while  |
yep Slinky Anne has to go on them on a regular basis too
The home Anne works at is one that keep you on your toes
the unfortunate thing is our doc is Dr Dixon is also the doc for the nurseing home and you know what he is like (thinks he is a comedian) every time Anne has to see him the first question he asks is not how are you but who have you killed today
