WHAT’S NEW? BOOST PROTECTION AGAINST
BACTERIA ON SURFACES Care homes can now help to reduce the spread of bacteria using a maintenance-free, antimicrobial surface for door hardware.
HOPPE has developed SecuSan, an antibacterial and antimicrobial surface for door and window handles, to help ensure high hygiene standards wherever people are present in large numbers.
SecuSan immediately suppresses the growth of pathogens on the handle on a lasting basis. Independent tests have proved that SecuSan reduces microbial growth by more than 99%.
Andy Matthews, Head of Sales at HOPPE (UK), said: “SecuSan is ideal for facilities managers trying to take care of high-traffic buildings. In these types of buildings where there is so much to monitor and keep clean, SecuSan helps to maintain high hygiene standards. It actively fights bacteria and fungi from the moment it is installed and is wear-free on a long-term basis. This is particularly important in care homes where residents are much more vulnerable.”
The surface can be applied to a wide range of popular HOPPE handle designs including the Amsterdam and Paris series, all available in aluminium silver and stainless steel. It is also covered by HOPPE’s 10-year operational guarantee that applies to all HOPPE door and window handles.

THEIR JOURNEY IN CARE iHASCO has created a complete eLearning package, with 15 separate, concise and engaging courses, to cover the theory for those working towards their Care Certificate. This online training plays a vital role in helping anyone who is starting out in the care sector to learn about the 15 standards of care. The courses also provide a great refresher for experienced workers, because it's vital that everyone who works in this industry provides top quality care.
It has taken the eLearning provider eight months to complete the full 15 courses, with the production of the programmes requiring 10 locations, 25 actors and 45 extras. The high-quality footage and carefully-written scripts have been designed to communicate the key learning points simply and effectively.
iHASCO is a Skills for Care Endorsed Learning and Development Provider, so users can have confidence in the content and quality of these courses. The 15 courses can be completed online, in under eight hours, but at the learner’s own pace and convenience. Some of the key courses include Duty of Care, Fluids & Nutrition, Basic Life Support and Infection Prevention & Control.
Lottie Galvin, Studio Manager at iHASCO said: “Now we’ve added the last of the needed courses to our 15-part bundle, we can proudly offer the complete eLearning package for
- 4 -
those in the health and social care sector, who are working towards completing their Care Certificate.”
“We completely understand that the current climate is throwing so many challenges at those who work in the care industry, and that training may not feel like a priority at this time. But eLearning is a simple and time-efficient solution that can strengthen a worker’s confidence and competence, whilst making sure that their training stays up to date.”
An employer can offer their staff access to all 15 courses for as little as £2 per course, per person. iHASCO is encouraging employers requiring health and social care training to get in touch to discuss how they can be supported with eLearning.
