Syncurio is excited to announce its new partnership with West Midland Care Association.


Syncurio is the care home management platform of choice, designed by care home operators to address the unique challenges of the sector. Used as a whole system or individual modules, it integrates essential tools for HR workforce management (including rostering and payroll), Resident billing, financial oversight, and governance, Syncurio streamlines operations while enhancing care quality.


Syncurio continuously evolves to meet the industry's needs, making it an indispensable tool for improving both care delivery and operational sustainability.


The platform offers a highly customisable, comprehensive workforce management solution, including robust staff rostering and management features including UKBA Compliance, holidays and absence management. A pin-code and picture clocking system saving time and money. Shift sharing and messaging eliminating the use of agency spend. Governance module provides real-time auditing and action plans, ensuring homes are always prepared for inspections. Syncurio also simplifies resident billing across multiple funding sources, helping care homes eliminate debt and operate more efficiently. At this critical time our budget tool can give insight into cost and spend on staff and cost per resident with the ability to lock your staff spend to budget. Our reporting offers a clear top-down look at the sustainability of your home or group giving you an estimated EBITDA for your service.


Looking ahead, Syncurio is set to launch a new resident enquiries solution next year, which will allow care homes to share key information about potential residents prior to admission. This feature will streamline the transition process for new residents, giving care homes the ability to review important information early, enabling smoother planning and personalisation of care before the resident is officially admitted. This forward-thinking approach will help ensure a higher standard of care right from the moment a resident begins their journey with a new care home. We will also be launching our Staff Supervision in the new year.


Syncurio are an integrated partner of Person Centred Software, your staff and resident information can be shared seamlessly across the software.


Sharon Gallagher - Sales Director has worked in collaboration with West Midlands Care Association for the last 6 years (many of you will know her from Person Centred Software) and she would be delighted to hear from you to discuss all you HR, Resident billing and Governance needs.

 International Recruitment: Research and Updates King's College is carrying out an independent evaluation of the support provided through the IR Fund and the researchers are keen to speak to care providers and international care workers. Reflecting on International Recruitment: Share Your Experience King’s College London has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to conduct an independent national evaluation of the support provided through the International Recruitment Fund 2024–25. This is your opportunity to share your experience. Care Providers The researchers are keen to hear from care providers who have recent experience of international recruitment including direct recruitment from overseas or international workers already in the UK. They are particularly interested in hearing from employers who have sponsored displaced international workers (have had visas revoked). International Care Workers Researchers at King’s College London also want to hear from international care workers who came to the UK but had to find a new employer since arriving in the UK because their original employer had their sponsorship licence revoked. The researchers want to understand the experience of international care workers. This will include: A confidential chat online or by phone (30–45 minutes) International care workers will receive a £20 gift voucher as a thank-you Everything shared is private – individual names and employers will not be identified If you have any questions or you’d like to take part in this research or know and international care worker who might, please contact: Carl Purcell, Policy Research Unit on Health and Social Care Workforce, King’s College London – carl.purcell@kcl.ac.uk

Carbon monoxide poisoning – what do care providers need to know? The Care Association Alliance have asked us to share this important information with our members. ************************************************************************** The best way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning is the proper installation and maintenance of gas equipment – and carbon monoxide alarms are a useful backup. The recommended approach for care settings is twofold: 1. Care homes must ensure that gas appliances are installed and maintained by a Gas Safe Registered engineer or business. 2. Carbon monoxide alarms are a useful precaution, but they are not a substitute for point 1 above. It’s important that people who use care services and care providers are safe from the risk of harm from carbon monoxide gas. The proper installation and regular maintenance of gas appliances, carried out by a competent person, is the best way to ensure CO safety. Care providers should refer to the Health and Safety Executive’s Safety in the installation and use of gas systems and appliances code of practice, which specifically notes the use of CO alarms as a useful back-up precaution if you have gas appliances in use at your service. Another useful resource is the HSE’S Health and safety in care homes guidance . The Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the HSE have launched a gas safety promotion for care settings: • May 2025 – the CQC set out the recommended approach in its bulletin. • June 2025 – the HSE has included this item on its cross-government group on CO awareness and gas safety.
