So why use a CQC regulated company for your film set medical cover? Using a Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated company for your film set medical provision offers several important advantages: Quality Assurance CQC regulation ensures that healthcare providers meet high standards of care and safety. This means you can trust that the medical services provided on set will be of high quality. Compliance with Legal Standards CQC-regulated companies are required to comply with strict legal and ethical guidelines. This helps you avoid potential legal issues and ensures that your production adheres to health and safety regulations. Trained and Qualified CQC regulation ensures that medical personnel are properly trained, qualified, and competent. This is crucial for providing effective emergency care and managing health-related incidents on set. Emergency Preparedness A regulated company is more likely to have robust emergency protocols in place, ensuring that your film set is prepared for any medical emergencies that may arise during production. Comprehensive Services CQC-regulated companies often provide a range of medical services beyond basic first aid, including trauma care, mental health support, and health screenings, which can be beneficial for cast and crew. Professional Accountability CQC regulation holds companies accountable for their services. If issues arise, there are established procedures for addressing complaints and ensuring that standards are maintained. Peace of Mind Knowing that you are working with a regulated provider allows you to focus on your production without worrying about the adequacy of medical support. Reputation and Trust Using a CQC-regulated company can enhance your production’s reputation, demonstrating a commitment to the health and safety of all involved. In summary, choosing a CQC-regulated company for medical provision on your film set ensures that you are receiving high-quality, compliant, and reliable medical services, which is essential for the safety and well-being of everyone on set.

Homecare Association Report Reveals Critically Low Fee Rates For State-Funded Homecare New research from the Homecare Association shows that fee rates for state-funded homecare across the UK remain dangerously low, failing to keep pace with rising wages and costs, and risking the stability of the sector. Failure to ensure adequate funding for homecare risks a decline in care quality, increased staff turnover, and reduced capacity to meet growing demand. The report highlights a stark disconnect between the rising costs of providing care and the fees paid by local authorities, potentially leading to a crisis in homecare provision. The Homecare Association conducted an extensive analysis of fee rates paid for homecare by public organisations across the United Kingdom for the 2024-25 financial year. The study examined data from local authorities, Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts, and NHS bodies. Key findings include: •The average fee rate for regular homecare contracts with local authorities/HSC Trusts in 2024-25 was £23.26 per hour, far below the Minimum Price for Homecare in all UK nations. •Only 1% of contracts with local authorities/HSC Trusts met the Minimum Price for Homecare in their respective nation. •6% of regular homecare contracts paid rates that didn't even cover careworker direct costs. •Just 7% of contracts had a fee increase that kept up with the 9.8% rise in the National Living Wage. •An estimated additional £1.67 billion is needed in England alone to enable careworkers to receive wages equivalent to NHS Band 3 healthcare assistants (with 2+ years’ experience). Dr Jane Townson OBE, CEO of the Homecare Association, commented: "Our findings paint a deeply concerning picture of homecare funding. It's shocking that 99% of contracts fail to meet even the minimum price required for sustainable, quality care. Without urgent government action to increase funding and mandate fair fee rates, we risk destabilising the homecare sector, compromising care quality, and exacerbating the already critical workforce shortage.” “Local authorities must improve how they commission and purchase homecare. They can't do it alone. The government must provide adequate funding to councils so they can pay a fair price for care. Providers need appropriate fee rates to offer competitive pay and good working conditions for our dedicated workforce.” “The government must recognise that funding, commissioning, regulating, and providing homecare are interdependent. Focusing on one aspect without addressing the others risks creating more problems. We cannot fix the NHS without also fixing social care." The Homecare Association is calling on the government to: 1. Provide adequate and ring-fenced funding to local authorities to enable them to pay a fair price for care. 2. Mandate public bodies to pay minimum fee rates for homecare to enable employers to offer fair pay and working conditions. 3. Shift commissioning approaches away from time and …

Safety and transparency is paramount for care providers, service users and their families. As a care provider, you can use technology to support you with this. A system that: → Gives carer control in emergencies → Offers remote support to carers on their client calls → Promotes safety and well-being → Allows for client family involvement → Documents the entire work flow of the care visits It will reduce the burden on your carers, errors and burnout. Most Domiciliary Care businesses are understaffed, and it leads to inevitable issues such as: → Reduced quality of care due to overstretched staff → Increased risk of errors in medication administration and care routines → Higher employee burnout, leading to increased turnover rates There's one system solution for this: the Vita Care Companion (VCC).

Air Ambulance charities are often asked: Do you fly patients to hospital? 🚁 Occasionally, when flying is deemed the quickest and most suitable method of hospital transfer, Air Ambulance charities utilise the helicopter for patient transportation. Air Ambulance charities often opt to transfer patients in ground ambulances. This allows the crew to maintain close monitoring and provide ongoing specialised care during the journey to the hospital. 🚑 #didyouknow #AirAmbulancesUK #AirAmbulances

As England and Wales face an escalating demand for end-of-life care, palliative care experts warn of the sector's inadequacies, highlighting a dire need for billions in additional funding to meet future needs. Amidst ongoing debates over new assisted dying laws, the Association for Palliative Medicine strongly opposes such legislation, citing underfunded services and potential risks to doctor-patient trust. With a projected 25% increase in individuals requiring palliative care by 2048, stakeholders from multiple sectors call for significant investments to ensure that the vulnerable receive the compassionate care they deserve. #healthcare #palliativecare #healthcarefunding #patientexperience #healthcareinvestment #health #care #healthcareexpertise #greybeardhealthcare https://lnkd.in/dafZfTqQ
