Book excerpt: In 2016, Liam's original book "Management Development for Care and Nursing Home Managers" shared articles on raising care home standards with a peer audience of 12,500, via www.linked-in. In 2018, he builds on these themes adding new material on the "revolving door" for home managers, how to sell care, the impact of poor management practice and managing the "greatest risk in your care home" and beyond. Before moving to healthcare in 2012, the author worked in organisations using "lean" and "world class" management concepts to develop a quality and customer focussed ethos. As of 2018, his local NHS hospital is implementing the same concepts to improve quality and customer satisfaction. Since moving to healthcare, he has been fortunate to work as a manager and consultant with a large private hospital group, a leading retirement village operator and several mid to large care home providers in the private and voluntary sectors.

At any age, when things are moving along normally day to day and everyone seems fit and well, there seems no reason to think about future problems that your friends and relatives might (and probably will) come across as they age. In fact, it might even seem a little morbid to think such thoughts, or possibly even tempting fate? Yet there will come a time when you must raise these issues and, ideally, this should be before any problems arise. The Essential Family Guide to Caring for Older People is the ultimate source of information and help for families with care responsibilities. Deborah Stone draws on her extensive experience working in elder care to offer practical advice on every aspect of the field in-depth. Topics range from how to get help immediately, legal information, care funding options, a guide to useful technology and advice on the main physical and mental health issues that affect older people. Plus guidance is given on dealing with social services and ensuring you choose the right care for your situations. Crucially, the book also offers help on how to cope as a carer with practical advice on juggling family, work and your caring responsibilities while looking after yourself.

Download or read book Manage Deaths Instead of Managing Life written by Musa Khan Jalalzai and published by Vij Books India Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The older you are, the poorer you are and the more long term medical conditions you have, the more likely you are to be admitted to hospital or to die, if those conditions progress or if you get any new acute illness, including COVID-19. This is a covert manifesto for age discrimination and discrimination against the old, sick and disabled.......... Nearly 12 million people in the UK are over 65 and 3 million are over 80. That’s a lot of people to dismiss casually. These include our parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents, our current or future selves. These are citizens who have contributed to society, families, workplaces and the economy. They are as entitled to protection and care as the rest of us. Unless the Covid-denialists and lockdown sceptics can serve up some useful solutions with their rhetoric, they need to stop the discriminatory dog whistles. I can guarantee if it were a member of their own family who got sick, they wouldn’t be saying “they have a pre-existing condition so let them die”. David Oliver, an experienced NHS acute hospital consultant.
