Why Care Homes ECHO for Ayrshire?

Aim

The aim of this project is to strengthen and build practice within care homes which allow staff to look at unusual or complex cases and gain insight and learning from subject experts.

Who is it for?

All care home staff across Ayrshire and Arran are invited to attend with the idea for this format being that we can all learn together, share experiences and network. This ECHO is particularly aimed at care home social care staff and support staff, but we welcome the collaboration of nurses, managers and other allied professionals.
