The NHS Lothian Care Home and Integrated Teams Chat (CHIT CHAT) newsletter is compiled by the Quality Improvement Team for Care Homes and Primary Care Settings for Care Homes in Lothian.
The newsletter features contributions from integrated teams (such as, tissue viability or CET) and Care Homes themselves in their own words.
The newsletter will no longer be posted out to all Care Homes but you can download it here > and it will be emailed to Care Homes.
Please feel free to share the newsletter with staff by printing it off, sharing it in emails or any other means you might share information. We have developed a poster with the newsletter QR Code to make sharing with staff easier as we know printing can be costly.
