Infection control product specialist, Cairn Care, has launched an online training hub to help care home staff to learn about effective infection control, continence care and health and safety.
Packed with a bank of training materials, it aims to provide a useful resource for managers looking to create a proactive working environment. Accessible free of charge and available 24/7, it offers downloadable easy-to-follow cleaning schedules, infection control plans, advice posters and basic workplace training tools.
In addition, it contains useful information to help care home customers use Cairn Care’s products correctly and effectively.This is because the training hub forms only part of Cairn Care’s new website, which includes a new online store dedicated to the UK residential care sector in the UK.
The website store has been developed in response to sustained growth in both the care home industry and ecommerce sector and will sell premium, hospital grade infection control products, continence care and other healthcare consumables.
Marketing manager, Donna Bedford says: “We have been supplying the care home sector with premium incontinence and cutting-edge cleaning products for many years, so our long-term relationships give us an insight into the demands of the industry. As such, we saw that training and information is crucial to support our care home customers.
“In addition, there is a definite move towards care homes wanting to order consumables online. This is partly because time is at a premium for care home managers and staff and online ordering means that they are no longer restricted to office hours.”
