Many have had little contact with the outside world throughout the pandemic but Care home residents will be allowed to have a regular indoor visitor from 8 March & Technology has played its role in bridging the gap while it lasted #lockdown #carehomes

Has Technology failed Test and Trace or was it badly handled? #coronavirus

One of the key barriers to better vaccination rates is awareness. Technology offers new opportunities to inform those at risk of Covid-19 that they should be vaccinated & offers fresh ways to send notices via SMS alerts & dedicated health apps. #vaccination #carehomes

Slow but steady. #vaccines are being rolled out in #carehomes across the country. Kudos to all involved. #carehomes #vaccination #elderly

Hope you have had a wonderful break. 2021 will be a year of good health for all! Stay safe out there!!! #COVIDSecondWave #vaccinations
#vaccination to begin in #carehomes & further £149M towards #testing in #carehomes. Meanwhile as #xmas2020 descend upon us, our heart goes to those who would be celebrating without their loved ones as a result of this pandemic! #COVID19
Residents in #carehomes and their staff member should remain top priority for #vaccination. There is no other logical way to start this process. #COVID19 #vaccination #carehomes.

Visiting guidance for #carehomes released, staff members of #carehomes & #homecare to be considered first for the #vaccine. #Progress!!! Its beginning to look a lot like Xmas after all.

#carehomes visits during lockdown are essential for #mentalhealth. However, everyone in these #carehomes must be protected with clarity of policies and how we want to move forward. #SecondLockdown #adultswithdisabilities #COVID
Technology enabled Xmas wont be ideal. All hands must be on deck to ensure our elderly people are able to spend Xmas with their loved ones.#carehome #xmas2020 #XmasPartyONLINE #testing

During the #lockdown1, tech was praised for the role it played in bridging so many gaps .eg connecting adults in #carehomes with their families.#Lockdown2 starts, we hope it even plays a bigger role. @CarePlannerLtd offers this link care-planner.co.uk/social-ca…

Activities like knitting & crochet serves as a form of mental exercise & helps improve one’s #mentalhealth. Owing to their meditative& relaxing qualities, they are being prescribed to #elderlypeople by the medical practitioners for a healthy & happy life #lockdown #carehomes

There is no shame in looking at those strategies that have proven effective elsewhere when protecting our #carehomes.E.g Hong Kong’s care homes go through pandemic readiness drills so that if an outbreak ensued, they would be ready with best practices.Let's protect our #carehomes

People have been using the word “inevitable” when it comes to the possibility of a #secondwave of #covid19 attacking our care homes. It gives the impression there was nothing we could do, yes there is a lot we can do! #carehomesuk #protectcarehomes

The mental health of our carers during these challenging times should also be under the spotlight,especially informal carers caring for terminally ill loved ones during this lockdown.Their efforts have been shown to have adverse effects on their physical &mental health especially

So we are in the middle of a pandemic & the general belief is that technology helps in times like this especially in #socialcare. Has it truly helped? Has it made any difference? considering the struggles of @NHSuk app!
#CareHomes were at the front line in the fight against Covid-19 during the first wave. Good hygiene, PPEs, technology, testing(residents & staff members) effective regulatory actions can all help as we face the second spike

Flu Vaccination now available for #socialcare workers and all that needs one. Every little deed that can help us this winter should be considered! #FluVaccine #COVID19 #StaySafe
With the infection numbers rising again, all residents and #careworkers in #Carehomes should be tested regularly, whether they show symptoms or not. Preparedness undoubtedly saves lives!

Disparities in access to digital technologies have increased people’s vulnerability, and this needs to be addressed.
