Training carers to spot the signs someone may be unwell (RESTORE2mini)

Training provided by West of England AHSN and Wessex AHSN

About this Event

Carers supporting people with learning disabilities want to keep the person they care for safe and healthy. Spotting when someone is unwell can be difficult and sadly this means opportunities to help people at an early stage may be missed. We all want to make sure that any illness or cause of deterioration is spotted quickly, so people can get the right care for them.

As NHS organisations that work with both health and social care, we are providing train-the-trainer virtual training, to support you to train both paid and unpaid support workers caring for people with learning disabilities in the RESTORE2mini tool.

💻 Free, bite-sized training, an opportunity to ask questions and share with your peers.

💡 You will leave with practical next steps and more confidence in, planning delivery of training in your area.

What will I learn?

RESTORE2 is an award-winning physical deterioration and escalation package designed specifically for residential and nursing homes. Training carers to spot the signs someone may be unwell and know what they should do (RESTORE2mini ) has been specifically adapted for people with Learning Disabilities.

The tool can be used to support recognition of early soft signs of deterioration, taking observations, responding and escalate using a common language with other parts of the health and care system so that you can get the help you need quicker.

The escalation process uses SBARD (situation, background, assessment, recommendation and decision) which is a Human Factors based approach for communicating concerns.

The training aims to either refresh your existing knowledge or upskill if this is an area of practice you are less familiar with, and ultimately to give you the confidence to train others to manage these difficult situations.

RESTORE2 and RESTORE2mini were developed by West Hampshire CCG and the Wessex Patient Safety Collaborative, and are being rolled out in other areas across the country.
