This week’s blog is a reflection on the failure of both #Scottish and UK governments to prioritise #socialcare and what it means for those who use #care and #support services. Failing to properly resource care is a failure of #dignity. #ProvidersUnite scottishcare.org/a-betrayal-o...

@ncfcareforum.bsky.social and our lovely members, MHA, are on our way to the #ProvidersUnite Day of Action. The unfunded employer NI rises will do real damage to care providers, their staff & the people they support. The govt must do more mitigate this.

⚠️Tomorrow @houseoflords.parliament.uk will vote on amendments to the eNICs legislation that could lead to exemptions and a review of its impact on our sector. Unless the Bill is changed, the consequences for social care in Scotland and across the UK will be devastating. @ukparliament.parliament.uk

Critical also this is recognised as a whole year round phenomenon in many hospitals across the UK (not dismissed as winter pressures) which disproportionately impacts older people. Needs whole system changes and investment in #socialcare as an essential to enable people to live in their communities

♥️ To provide compassionate care for people with delirium we need to: ➡️ detect & document it formally ➡️ communicate the Dx to pt & carers ➡️ alongside treating triggers, etc., consider the 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 - how are they feeling? Do they need explanation & reassurance? 🔗 academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...
