• Enhancing care into Care Homes – including carers

  Enhancing care into Care Homes – including carers

  Belfast Trust is currently seeking carers to join a new Enhancing care into Care Homes Group. This group will work with the Trust to ensure that the voice of the carers is integrated into the Enhancing care into Care Homes Group, to improve residents care and support a new approach of anticipatory care planning.

  The Enhancing care into Care Homes programme of work will aim to:
  1. improve residents’ sense of wellbeing
  2. improve anticipatory planning for long term conditions (LTC) including frailty
  3. provide early interventions to prevent crisis resulting in unnecessary attendances at unscheduled care.

  Overview

  Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and the Department of Health have recently met to agree their proposal as part of the Department of Health ‘Overarching Winter Preparedness plan 2025/26’.
  Focusing on:

  • Older people living with frailty
  • Supporting care
  • Interaction with Health and Social Care

  The Enhancing care into Care Homes Group will oversee the development of the model to deliver a GP led multidisciplinary team (MDT) service. It is hoped this service will proactively enhance care for residents in care homes through the completion of a comprehensive assessment, develop anticipatory care plans by the wider team working together.

  We are seeking carers who have lived experience of care homes in Belfast Trust area in the last 6 -12 months. The group will meet initially every 2 weeks online for 1 hour. There will be an induction and training available, to support your understanding and getting involved.
