Hello and welcome to the December issue of Tomorrow’s Care.


I hope you are well and ready for the approaching festivities. It only seems two minutes since I took over as Editor of Tomorrow’s Care back in June and I can’t believe we have reached the last issue of 2017 already. From Brexit discussions to national tragedies, this year has been particularly challenging for the health and social care sector but nothing has been more evident in these testing times than the compassion, generosity and selfless dedication of those working in the industry. Whilst most of us get time to rest over the festive period, however, many in the healthcare sector will still be working all through Christmas. So it is more important than ever that we hold these people in our thoughts and show them our gratitude as much as possible this season and throughout the new year.


Keen to end the year on a high, we have made sure that this issue is jam-packed full of advice, expert opinion, industry updates and product developments to give you a great read whilst you enjoy some rest and recuperation.


To help you prepare for the year ahead we have lots of tips and inspiration, when it comes to finding and retaining the best possible employees, in our Recruitment section. If you’re looking to reduce the wastage within your care facility in 2018, take a look at our Waste & Recycling section to find out some ways you can do so. Elsewhere in the issue, we also have sections on Leisure & Entertainment and Dementia with case studies and comment from the likes of Active Minds, Great Oaks care home, Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society, and many more.


I hope you enjoy the read and, from us all here at Tomorrow’s Care, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the new year!
