Why Care Homes ECHO in Dumfries and Galloway ?

Aim

The aim of this project is to deliver a variety of education that is accessible for care home staff throughout Dumfries and Galloway. This Care Homes ECHO is part of a group of four areas that were initially chosen for a pilot within the My Health, My Care, My Home framework. This is a follow up series of sessions to carry on building a community of practice between local care homes.

This sessions are being facilitated by Jamie Learmont, who has facilitated previous care home ECHO sessions for the area. He has put together a programme that covers a broad range of topics with complexity that will lead to great learning moments for attendees and insightful discussions at the sessions.

Who is it for?

This ECHO is particularly aimed at Care Home social care staff, support staff and managers but we welcome the collaboration of nurses, managers and other allied professionals in the Dumfries and Galloway area.
