Raising the Standard of Home Care
At Kingsway Care, we never stop learning. Our team is constantly looking for ways to improve the support we offer to our clients, and our latest Advanced Clinical Observations Training, delivered by Caring for Care, is a perfect example of that commitment in action.
This hands-on, in-depth training empowers our CareGivers with the skills and confidence to carry out a wide range of clinical observations—spotting the soft signs of deterioration early and taking action to keep clients well and at home.
A Professional Yet Relaxed Training Environment
Senior CareGiver Amy described the training day at the Kingsway Care Academy as “very relaxed, but professional and productive.” The supportive atmosphere meant everyone felt comfortable asking questions and fully engaging with the practical sessions.
Real Life Relevance: Making A Difference
Senior CareGiver Peta found the training immediately useful for the Kingsway Care Clients she supports:
We covered Type 1 diabetes, which is really helpful as I support two clients with this. I also gained a better understanding of vital signs in relation to COPD. One of my clients has COPD and I see him four times a week. A little while ago, I noticed something wasn’t right with his vital signs, and he needed an ambulance. This training has given me the confidence to spot those signs even sooner.” – Peta, Kingsway CareGiver
Amy also learned how early intervention can prevent serious illness:
I now know how to recognise the soft signs that someone might be becoming unwell—up to five days before it shows in clinical readings. That’s powerful knowledge.
Interactive Learning That Sticks
This wasn’t just another PowerPoint presentation. The training was highly interactive, helping the team understand not only what to do, but why it matters.
I learnt so much! The training style really worked for me. I used to struggle to properly understand blood pressure and how it all fits together—but now, I feel confident in how to record it accurately in the RESTORE2 system.” – Amy
RESTORE2 is an early warning tool designed for use in community settings, and it’s fast becoming a vital part of proactive care.
A Huge Step Forward for Preventative Home Care
Managing Director Vicky Haines summed it up perfectly:
There’s rightly so much focus on preventative care—and it’s something our team puts into practice every single day. No one wants to be waiting hours for an ambulance or sitting in A&E with a serious infection that could have been prevented. I’m so proud of our CareGivers who are now even better equipped to spot early signs and take swift action to keep our clients safe and well at home.
Huge thanks to Caring for Care for delivering such high-quality training—and well done to our incredible team for embracing it with such enthusiasm!
