- Module 1Welcome to Module 1 of 'Caring with Confidence: Advanced Skills for Experienced Family Carers'. In this module, we explore how to support individuals with more complex conditions such as dementia, autism, stroke recovery, and other long-term health needs. Understanding the unique characteristics of these conditions is key to providing safe, effective, and compassionate care.1
- Module 2Manual handling is a key part of many carers’ daily responsibilities. Done incorrectly, it can cause injury to both the carer and the person being supported. This module will introduce safe handling techniques that reduce risk and promote comfort and dignity for everyone involved.1
- Module 3In this module, we focus on understanding and managing behaviours that challenge and emotional distress in those we care for. These responses are often rooted in unmet needs, communication difficulties, or frustration. By understanding causes and applying calming techniques, you can make care safer and more respectful.1
- Module 4In this module, we focus on supporting medication routines and promoting good nutrition for those with more complex needs. Family carers often play a vital role in assisting with these areas, and it's important to do so safely, legally, and compassionately.1
