TRAINING & EDUCATION
A Quantum of Care
National care home provider Quantum Care has been tackling the training of its cleaning personnel via a new initiative with solutions and technology specialist, Prochem. Here they tell us more.
While training for care home personnel is increasingly broad- based, its focus is on establishing and maintaining best practice in patient care terms.
As part of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration requires care home providers to comply with essential standards of quality and safety that includes risk of exposure to infections.
Consequent national cleanliness specifications provide a framework
- 44 -
for providers of care homes to demonstrate to the CQC how they ensure their premises are clean and safe, and meet the required standards.
Clearly, effective prevention and control of infection should be part of everyday practice and applied consistently by everyone.
Staying on Top
of the Regulation Since 2001 for hospitals, and 2009 for ambulance trusts, a national
specification for cleanliness has been available to assist home providers in ensuring they provide a cleaning service which meets the required standards.
Over recent years, Quantum Welwyn Garden City-based group Quantum has been sourcing cleaning products for its 26 homes from Prochem, an established specialist in the solutions market, which also happens to be the UK’s primary provider of training to cleaning professionals, whether independent, contracted or in-house.
