A number of our staff attended this year’s European Social Services Conference in Antwerp Belgium.
Run by the European Social Network, this year’s conference focused on how to co-create community-based social services, with a specific focus on three thematic strands: Co-Creating Cities Social Inclusion, Co-Creating Responses to Manage the Future Workforce, and Co-Creating Digital Solutions for Social Inclusion.
Our online learning courses have been completed over 300,000 times since launching.
We develop national standards for health and social care services and, to make sure that people using these services receive the best possible care, we also create support materials, such as online learning courses.
Our resources on The Fundamentals of Advocacy in health and social care were highly commended at the Irish Healthcare Awards in the Royal Convention Centre, Dublin on 5 December. Health Information and Standards team members were in attendance and the resources were awarded ‘highly commended’ in the category ‘Crisis Management Response of the Year’. This project was recognised for its dedication and innovation, demonstrating exceptional achievement in the Irish healthcare community in improving healthcare in Ireland.
We have launched a new educational slide deck for trainers and educators about the development of evidence-based national standards for health and social care services in Ireland.
HIQA has launched a new Learning Hub, which is available on its website landing page. The hub provides links to a range of resources and materials that support frontline staff to put national standards into practice.
