 Care Show - Birmingham NEC November 2009

Once again we were delighted to have been invited to take part in the Care Show at the NEC this month, by delivering one of the sessions at the Seminar Theatre. National Chair, Chris Jackson, gave a presentation titled " What's hot and happening in health and safety for your care home" He was able through recent cases, incident figures, and HSE inspections to highlight those issues which need to be top of the list for all care homes. These include, Hot Water, Bed Rails, Falls from windows, Slips & trips and Back Care.
