Summer CPD Conference on How to be "Well Led" hailed a great success!


On Thursday 6th July,  Managers, Seniors and Deputies gathered at Portway Lifestyle Centre for our Summer CPD Conference on How to be "Well Led" which was run in partnership with Skills for Care.


The event included a Registered Managers Networks Chairpersons Panel Discussion, as well as information about ethical recruitment from Rick Canavan of BA Healthcare.


Following a wonderful lunch, the event continued with Karen Rogers from Herefordshire Care Homes talking about "what should a senior team of an Outstanding care home be doing to reach "Well-Led" status?".


Sue Maidwell from Arjo spoke about how they can help care providers meet CQC compliance.


The event was rounded off with a presentation by Helen Nicholls, Operations Manager at CQC, highlighting what they look for in a "Well-Led" care provider.


We had some amazing feedback from the event with many attendees saying that it "was very informative".


Our next CPD Conference will be around the theme of "Safe". Further details will follow so keep an eye on our website and newsletter for updates.
