Pennine Lancashire Care Home Engagement Project
In October 2023, a multi-agency collaborative project launched in care homes across Pennine Lancashire with the aim of reducing calls to North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) and reducing conveyance to Royal Blackburn Hospital through training for care home staff to access the appropriate services for residents in their community.
The project consists of a two-hour training session to inform care home staff of the different services available, and how to help their residents and use the services appropriately, ensuring that 999 is reserved for life-threatening emergencies.
