NHS England has published a revised version of the Enhanced Health in Care Homes framework which sets out the principles for delivering proactive, personalised care for people living in care homes including those with learning disabilities or autism, mental ill-health or rehabilitation needs. 

 

This update reflects best practice and new ways of working since the COVID-19 pandemic including the use of digital technology to improve integrated working and information sharing across health and social care teams. It expands on priority clinical areas such as structured medicine reviews, nutrition and hydration, falls prevention, skin and wound care, leg and foot ulcers, mental health, dementia and palliative and end of life care.
