Leadership Award for Dementia Care Halton Healthcare has received a recognition award from Advanced Gerontological Education (AGE) Inc. for continuous commitment to dementia education. The award recognized Halton Healthcare's commitment to Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA) education, an innovative dementia care education curriculum that gives staff techniques and tools for responding to challenging patient behaviours. Since 2016 Halton Healthcare has trained over 650 staff including nurses, unit clerks, diagnostic imaging staff, volunteers and housekeeping staff. This is the third year in a row the organization has received this recognition. Pressure injuries (commonly known as bed sores) are changes or breaks in the skin caused by constant pressure, usually over a bony area such as a tailbone or heel. These injuries can cause a lot of discomfort and pain and prevention is key. This month we launched our #StopThePressure Pressure Injury Prevention Campaign at all three Halton Healthcare hospitals. This educational campaign is designed to raise awareness and start a discussion about the proactive measures our healthcare teams, including patients and their families, can take to help prevent these injuries.
