The iLA KeepAble team has worked with service providers and Regional Assessment Services to develop content that will assist staff to understand the importance of adopting this way of working, and the pivotal part it plays in enabling older people to stay at home for longer.
The bite-size sessions are designed to be delivered face to face when it best suits the organisation. For example, in a team meeting or during a dedicated training session. The accompanying activities encourage group discussion and problem-solving enhancing the shared learning of participants.
Professional Development session 1 – Why and What of Wellness and Reablement

Through discussion of case studies, participants will increase their understanding of the important role they have in providing these opportunities.
