Recent resuscitation training.
On 10 June 2026, our team came together off-site for a full day of resuscitation training — Basic Life Support, use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), choking, and managing acute physical deterioration. Registered nurses completed an additional session on airway management.
Training was delivered by Dr Polly Jordan, a Resuscitation Council (UK) Instructor. Sessions like this run regularly across the year, with time protected within rotas so the whole team can attend.
A small example of the ongoing investment we make in our people — and in the safety of the residents in our care.
