Clinical Risk Reviews

Residents in care homes and supported living type environments have increasingly complex needs and are at risk of numerous avoidable harms.

These reviews get straight to the key clinical risks affecting your business and consider how effective your current systems and controls are in practice.

Specific risks can be targeted such as tissue viability, falls prevention, choking, nutrition, medicines management and infection control.

The effectiveness of adverse incident reporting and trend analysis can also be reviewed along with Duty of Candor and the interface with organisational learning.

Integrated Governance

Integrated governance consists of all aspects of governance necessary to be safe, effectively run and customer focused. It ensures that all parts of an organisation work together in a more effective and complimentary way avoiding departmental silos.

It provides assurance that data flows from “floor to Board” utilising outcome measures and data to measure progress and manage risk. Integrated governance facilitates effective decision making and the ability to make informed improvements to business processes, compliance and cost controls while remaining customer focussed.

We offer an organisational integrated governance review and support with implementation of an effective integrated governance model to support improved business performance.

Coaching and Mentoring

Strong and effective leadership is key to the delivery of high quality services, positive outcomes for residents, compassionate care and optimal business performance.
