To ensure you are fully ‘CQC ready’ Knowledge Oral Health Care can assist with and provide template policies and clinical governance; demonstrating evidence of accurate record keeping and audits.
Providing good oral care for residents can be challenging; time constraints, increased workloads, uncooperative residents and carers lacking knowledge and skills can result in inadequate oral care. In order to safeguard the health and wellbeing of those people that are dependent on others, good daily oral care is crucial. In palliative and end-of-life care it becomes particularly important to ensure the person’s mouth is clean and comfortable.

I had a few connection issues but they were soon resolved.
The trainer, Jane, was confident and clear in the discussion and training she was delivering.

I think specifically for SLT in hospital setting there was not much practical application i could take from the coure
Things that may have been more helpful to cover for me would have been more on the neurological disorders that was covered quickly at the end- also a massive area now for SLT and mouthcare is the difficulties associated with those patients on CPAP/intubated patients. However i do realize this is quite specific to a hospital setting.
Thank you for putting together the course
