Caregivers have a thirst for knowledge that we don't often recognise

Having run two caregiver training courses this week it just never ceases to amaze me of the knowledge they have and the new knowledge they seek.

Firstly Observing Recording and Reporting. Having gained some understanding of the importance of reporting what they see, hear, feel, and writing in a factual way using what where when and how empowered left them buzzing.

At Medications for caregivers with Gigi Lim I was astounded at the questions they asked. They are more highly skilled than we sometimes give them credit for. Some of those who attended had been to 3 of Gigi's classes. That shows a real thirst for knowledge.

Next year there will be more information on specific medications for them to empower them further.

Lets not underestimate the abilities of these caregivers and thank you to the facilities/organisations that supported them in their endeavours.
You and your residents/clients are the winners here.
