Where We Were
Where We WereMoffat Project 2008 – 2010• Partnership with carers centres and NHS• 4 main care groups on 9 hospital sites• Aim : to identify carers in the hospital setting,
involvement of carers in discharge, improving support for carers.
• Carer Awareness Training to staff
Where We WereWhat we learned• System very dependant on visible presence to
generate response – not sustainable• Need for carer identification to be part of
patient pathway• Identification of carer alone not enough to
provide good outcome for carers• Training needs to directly link to organisational
priorities and outcomes
Where we are now
Where We Are Now• Toolkit for training incorporating support available
to carers and how to access• Identifying opportunities for workforce
development• Responding to Directorate priorities• Exploring systems to improve identification of
carers• Working in partnership on training priorities
