    React to Red Skin is a pressure ulcer prevention campaign that is committed to educating as many people as possible about the dangers of pressure ulcers and the simple steps that can be take to avoid them.   The prevention of avoidable pressure ulcers in the community is one of the biggest challenges that care organisations face - a challenge which currently costs the NHS and care organisations in the UK around £6.5 billion per year. Pressure ulcers affect around 700,000 people in the UK every year and many of these will develop whilst an individual is being cared for in a formal care setting (hospital, nursing home or care home). Many pressure ulcers are avoidable if simple knowledge is provided and preventative best practice is followed. Hear three stories from patients who have been affected by pressure ulcers.

    This joint project with East Berkshire CCG was highlighted within the AKI Programme within Oxford Patient Safety Collaborative. Fewer residents are suffering urinary tract infections (UTIs) following the introduction of a hydration programme in care homes. UTIs are closely associated with dehydration. This project was designed to encourage residents to drink more fluids with the aim that this would lead to fewer UTIs requiring medication or hospital admission. This approach involved introducing structured drinks rounds seven times a day, designed and delivered by care home staff. The initial focus was in four care homes which had higher than average UTI admission to hospital rates.

    The East Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative (EMPSC) piloted an audit tool to measure the prevalence of common care problems found in nursing and residential homes. The audit tool was first rolled out to 26 care homes across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 2015, extending to 30 care homes across the East Midlands in 2016, 31 in 2017 and 39 in 2018. The tool is called the International Prevalence Measurement of Care Problems in Care Homes (Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgkwaliteit, or LPZ for short, in Dutch). LPZ was developed in the Netherlands to provide a reliable mechanism for measuring the prevalence of common care problems within care homes and provide consistent recording of data to drive, or measure, the impact of quality improvement initiatives in the sector.

    Nearly half of care workers in care homes have been both physically and verbally abused by the residents they are supporting, according to new research. A poll of 2,803 staff working in care homes revealed 17% have received verbal abuse from residents and 11% have been subject to physical abuse. A spokesperson for carehome.co.uk, said: “All over the UK, care workers are doing physically and emotionally demanding jobs on often low pay and long hours. Yet at the same time, the rewards of working in a care home can be huge, as you can build strong relationships with the people you care for and make deep, emotional connections." “Lashing out at staff is often a sign of frustration and it is vital care homes give staff dementia training so they can find the reasons behind this challenging behaviour. Care workers do such an important job and with around three-quarters of people in care homes having dementia, it is vital care workers are given adequate support and specialist training to care for them.” Read full story Source: Carehome.co.uk, 10 May 2019
