| Annotation | The White Paper "Modernising social services" (Cm 4169) has endorsed principles of national registration and national standards for nursing and residential care homes as part of the way forward to improving the care of older people. A study by Malcolm Johnson, Lesley Cullen and Demi Patsos of the University of Bristol International Institute on Health and Ageing explored the range of views within the sector on what makes a good manager. This issue of Findings outlines the study's background and its conclusions with regard to training priorities, current levels of qualification and training, what form training should take, and standards and quality. The researchers suggest that the greatest net gains to be achieved in the quality of long-term care will be through improving the effectiveness and skills of staff; and training is required at all levels, from part-time care workers to managers. Their findings are published in the report, "Managers in long-term care: their quality and qualities", published by the Policy Press in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). (RH). |
