New review to examine how healthcare and care assistants will be better trained and supported

Source: Department of Health (DH) Area: News The Health Secretary has announced that a new independent review will look at how the training and support of healthcare and care assistants can be strengthened so they give better care to patients. The review will be led by Times journalist Camilla Cavendish who will report back to Government at the end of May. It will look at how healthcare assistants can have the training and support they need to provide essential services to the highest standards. It will also look at how recruitment can be strengthened to place the right people, with the right values and behaviours, in the right settings.   This follows on from the Francis report on the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust which had set out the importance of looking at how care is provided at every level.
