Mandatory First Aid Training for Care Homes

In care homes, training and education of both care assistants and nurses is vital. It is essential that high quality care is delivered, standards are maintained and that staff are motivated.

We should not be frightened of training but it should be looked upon as part of our everyday work.

Care homes provide treatment to vulnerable individuals and the quality of care provided is largely determined by the staff within the service – many of whom are care assistants. The Care Standards Act 2000 (standard 28) requires three days annual training for care home staff.
