About this event
Organised by
The West of England Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) and Wessex AHSN bring together all the key players innovating health and care in our regions.
We are two of 15 AHSNs across the country, established by NHS England in 2013. Since our launch, our priority has been to work across organisational and geographical boundaries, involving our entire network in both development and delivery to drive transformation that is based on genuine need, is successfully embedded and sustainable.
With our unique expertise and cross-sector connections, we understand both the ‘push and pull’ of demand on healthcare innovation. We actively nurture an innovation ecosystem around health and care, removing obstacles and bringing diverse groups together to conceive and maximise new ways of working.
Wessex PSC worked with West Hampshire CCG to co-produce RESTORE2, the physical deterioration and escalation tool for Care Homes based on the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2), and the RESTORE2mini Soft Signs based version. Subsequently Wessex PSC developed a series of training resources for RESTORE2 and RESTORE2mini and, together with the West of England AHSN and Health Education England, helped develop a series of videos about managing Physical Deterioration for Carers. Wessex PSC has also supported the implementation of RESTORE2 and RESTORE2mini in Care Homes and Domiciliary Care settings across England, the UK and internationally.
In 2020 Wessex PSC, the West of England AHSN, NHS England and NHS Improvement have combined to develop a version of RESTORE2mini in support of the Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (LeDeR) Programme for carers of people with a Learning Disability. One of the elements of that initiative is this training session which, together with some new and re-filmed videos has been designed to help Carers supporting people with learning disabilities to keep the person they care for safe and healthy.
