It reached more than 1300 leaders in the care home sector. The WebEx contains the slides and other information, including the new distribution process for PPE. It’s recommended for Registered Managers and others, and there will be a FAQ coming soon. This WebEx is the first of a range of support and guidance being offered in the South East, but colleagues from other regions will find it useful.
