Care Home Liaison Service
Introduction
The department provides liaison and education for nursing and care staff employed within care homes. It works with care homes for older people across Lanarkshire and has been in existence since 2001.
Its work can range from supporting individual needs to providing large study sessions. Some of the topics covered include falls prevention, palliative care, care of residents with diabetes and care of feeding tubes.
The department often works alongside specialist services available in NHS Lanarkshire such as diabetes nurse specialists and the St. Andrews Hospice. The service provides an important link between the NHS and care homes – including those which are local authority run, private and voluntary.
