Supporting people to live healthier lives

Written by Juliet Smith on . Posted in Newsletter. Leave a Comment

Ensuring the people we support can live healthier, more independent lives is at the heart of great care. It’s about more than meeting immediate needs—it’s about empowering individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing, making choices that enhance their quality of life now and in the future.
 
In this issue, we explore how care home teams can support better health outcomes. From promoting physical activity to having positive conversations about making healthier choices, small changes can make a big difference. When staff really understand residents’ individual needs and preferences, they can provide truly person-centred care that not only supports day-to-day wellbeing but also helps reduce their future needs for care and support.

MILE Pathway newsletter – Understanding the Mental Capacity Act

Written by Juliet Smith on . Posted in Newsletter. Leave a Comment

This week, we’re focusing on the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)—key legal frameworks that protect the rights of individuals who may lack capacity or require support to make decisions in particular areas of their life.

DoLS were set to be replaced by the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), but in April 2023, the government announced a delay in implementation. While the future timeline remains uncertain, now is a great time to refresh your knowledge on some of the key issues in this area.

Read on for local courses, key guidance, and practical resources to support you and your teams.
