Nursebuddy launches new webinar series for domiciliary carers

Nursebuddy has launched a new webinar series aimed at domiciliary care workers.

Starting in March 2024, the live webinar series offers homecare workers practical guidance on the key issues affecting them as they do their job.

Featuring subject matter experts from around social care, each bite-size 30 minute webinar focuses on useful support that care worker, as well as management teams, can take away and try immediately.

Topics will include mental health, dealing with loss and some of the legal responsibilities relating to care work.

Rocio Solis, Customer Success Manager at Nursebuddy behind the webinar series, said: “As we talk to our customers we see a lot of common themes come up for them about the things that affect their domiciliary care teams.

"We wanted to give our care workers access to some helpful advice and support from experts they might otherwise not get access to, as well as the opportunity to learn from good practice at other care companies."

Rocio continued: “these are the topics that come up most often so they are a good place for this webinar series to start. But we’d love to hear from care workers about other topics they’d like us to cover.”

“Ultimately, our aim is to help our domiciliary care workers to thrive in their care career.”
