Care Home Assurance

Care Home Assurance visits provide an opportunity for partnership working and shared learning between care homes and HSCP teams. These visits identify areas of good practice as well as what could be better. Care homes are supported to have ownership of changes required and can work in collaboration with the HSCPs and the CHC to achieve changes.

Winter Vaccinations

Flu and Covid vaccinations are available for all residents in care homes, carers, frontline Health and Social Care Staff which includes those working in Care Homes and in Care at Home Services. Every year we offer flu and the vaccine changes with the strains that are present so that we are all given the most protection possible. Even if you have had your primary course of the Covid Vaccine it is really important that you take up the offer of a Booster as Covid is a virus which changes and therefore the Covid Vaccine offered as a Booster is the most up to date for the variant that is circulating.

Both Vaccines protect against severe illness and reduce hospital admissions. By receiving your vaccinations you not only protect yourselves but your friends, family and those who are most vulnerable especially those we care for. By being vaccinated we also protect the demand on our NHS and Social Care Services.

If you are a resident in a Care Home then the Vaccination Team will come to vaccinate you in your residence and will also be able to vaccinate staff. If as a member of staff you are not at work on the day they visit it is still possible to receive your vaccine by attending our mobile bus and Community Clinics.
