The course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to prepare and implement activities within the care plan format and approved care pathways.  Staff will learn how to create, implement, react and review those activities in a person centred way and to achieve the level of knowledge required to be confident in client risk assessment.  The course includes time for the tutor to support the manager/s to discuss and review the current care plan format if adaptations are needed.

The end point goal of this training is to achieve an effective person centred care plan format that managers are confident in using and that they can subsequently cascade to front line staff  to improve their interventions  within the activities of daily living for people they support.
