The East Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative - which is hosted by the EMAHSN - has been awarded £20,000 by the Health Foundation to develop quality improvement resources working with care homes.

The funding will help to build on the React To series of training resources specifically designed for care home staff and other healthcare professionals – covering topics such as pressure ulcers, infections, hydration, falls, dementia and footcare.

During the pandemic, the Patient Safety Collaborative has worked closely with care homes and established a good learning network. The project builds on this momentum to further empower care home teams by working with them to co-produce more resources for the series, specifically for the care home environment.

The Health Foundation has awarded funding to nine projects through the Supporting local learning funding programme, which aims to strengthen the design of structured learning in the health and care sector.
