✨ New Dates for WMCA In-House 

Oliver McGowan Training✨

We’re delighted to announce new dates for our in‑house Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training. This programme is always extremely popular and sells out quickly, so we encourage you to secure places as soon as possible. 

We’re proud to continue receiving   100% positive feedback from attendees, reflecting the quality and impact of the training.

Don’t miss out on the chance to strengthen your team’s confidence and understanding in delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care.

WMCA Registered Managers, Deputies & Seniors Conference

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week — especially given the extreme heat, which we know caused staffing challenges for many services. We’re truly thankful to those who were able to attend, and fully understand that some simply couldn’t be there.

Our theme, Safe, shaped a programme of insightful, practical and engaging sessions. Feedback has been excellent, with many attendees highlighting how valuable the content and discussions were for strengthening safety and quality across their services.

⭐ Take Part in a BCU Research Study

Care staff are invited to take part in a research study for a Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy at Birmingham City University (BCU). The project explores your experiences of following Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) advice when supporting residents with eating, drinking and swallowing needs.

You’ll be asked to complete a short 10–15 minute online survey, and you may skip any questions you prefer not to answer. Anyone working in a care home or similar setting who supports residents with these needs is welcome to take part.
