An interesting video from NICE about using NICE quality standards to guide good quality social care.Click here to watch it via YouTube.
In an interview with NICE Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector for Adult Social Care at the CQC, says that using NICE products will help underpin the characteristics of good and outstanding social care services.
With more people living longer than ever before, demand for social care is rising. The number of older people in the UK is set to rise to 16 million over the next 20 years, and while many people are often looked after very well in care homes, others are often not so fortunate.
NICE published a social care quality standard in December 2013, which aims to reduce variation in the treatment and care of older people in care homes.
