The Care Home Programme Team was established in May 2020 under the direction of the Executive Nurse Director and the Nurse Director Primary and Community Care.
At that time the primary focus of the team was to provide operational and strategic support for care homes and care at home services in Lothian. As we recover from the Covid 19 Pandemic, the focus has shifted to a more collaborative way of working, with the recommendations within My Health, My Care, My Home – Healthcare Framework for adults living in care homes, the main focus of our work going forward.
This includes working with Health and Social Care Partnerships support teams and services to establish a means for escalation and oversight.
