Hello there and welcome to the February/March issue of Tomorrow’s Care!
This month we have a large variety of features, news, innovations and developments for you to get stuck into. In particular, we have a special focus on Nurse Call, Health and Safety, Patient Handling and Physical Disability, where we hear from the likes of MariCare, Arco and many more.
The future of care homes has been a well-reported topic in recent months, with much debate about the best routes to take to improve the quality and management of care services. In this issue, Izabella Jagiello, Head of Background Checking at Experian, explains why the staff selection process will be critical for the future of the sector.
From employees to employers, we discover why companies need to focus more on the occupational diseases as we hear from Arco’s Product & Procurement Manager, Darren Williamson, on the monitoring and management of occupational skin diseases.
