The new partnership offers Nursebuddy customers an exclusive discount on a subscription to Care Quality Matters, as well as reduced price tickets to live, CPD-certified skillsforwork online workshops.
What is Care Quality Matters?
Care Quality Matters is a specialist information service for Registered Managers and care professionals working in domiciliary care agencies and supported living services, as well as care homes.
Offering actionable, step-by-step advice, the Care Quality Matters subscription gives care providers peace of mind that they are doing all the right things to meet regulations and pass inspections with confidence.
Every month, it brings readers the vital news, reminders and down-to-earth, plain English explanations of what can often be very dry documentation of regulations.
It also covers, in detail, a specific topic each month, such as safeguarding, infection control and medicines management. In just 12 pages of advice, it gives the exact, step-by-step instructions to help care providers implement best practice and procedures in all the key areas.
