Supporting Care Providers to improve End of Life Care
The Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Training is a tried and tested evidence-based, quality improvement approach, used by thousands of teams, affecting the care of people in their last year of life in all settings.
The GSF Going for Gold Programme enables top quality care in the organisation (Care Home, Domiciliary Care Agency, Retirement Village) by providing a proactive, person-centred, systematic, organisational approach to care, leading to Accreditation and the GSF Quality Hallmark Award.
The GSF Accreditation Quality Hallmark Award is nationally recognised as a kite-mark for quality and recognised by the Care Quality Commission and co-badged by National Care Forum (NCF), Registered Nursing Homes Association (RNHA), National Care Association (NCA), Care England, The Associated Retirement Community Operators (ARCO) and other national organisations.
The Training includes eight Live, interactive webinars:
Webinar 1: Introduction and Evaluation
The session gives an overview of end of life care and how implementing GSF will help improve end of life care within your organisation. Baseline data is also gathered to enable you to evidence improvement.
Webinar 2: Key Task 1 – Identification
The session explores how you can identify the needs of individuals and support them in a systematic way.
Webinar 3: Key Task 2 – ACP
