Other health newsletters & e-alerts

Skills for Care work to ensure the adult social care sector has a modern, flexible and highly skilled workforce to deliver quality care. They are committed to working with employers and other key stakeholders to ensure they are supporting their needs and those of people who use services and carers. Their latest newsletter is available at www.skillsforcare.org.uk/news/newsletters/04_April_2013.aspx.

You can now sign up to receive an email alert when any care home, home-care agency, hospital or dental practice is inspected. The service is provided by the Care Quality Commission, which is responsible for registering, monitoring and inspecting all NHS, private healthcare, and adult social care services in England to make sure they are providing care which meets national standards of safety and quality.
