The last 10 days have been a whirlwind of activity, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

✅ We partnered with Bolton College, equipping teaching assistants with the skills to support a student with a tracheostomy.
✅ We worked with Away Day Care Trafford, delivering training to two groups of care staff in Epilepsy & Buccal Midazolam as well as Enteral Tube Theory & Familiarisation – laying the foundation for staff to grow their confidence and competence.
✅ We also provided Enteral Tubes training and React to Red sessions for nurses and senior carers, strengthening knowledge and patient safety in practice.

At Lagan’s Healthcare, we’re proud to deliver high-quality, competency-based training that supports real impact in education and care settings.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Becoming Simulator Faculty event at Alder Hey.

It was a fantastic opportunity to join fellow Clinical Skills Educators and explore how simulation can support deeper learning.

Some great takeaways around structured debriefing really helped to dispel the fear around “getting it right”, leaving me feeling more confident about facilitating powerful learning experiences.

I’m excited to build on this foundation and bring more of this into the work we’re doing at Lagan’s Healthcare.

🚨 Exciting News: Returning to Direct Observation Assessment Methods! 🚨

As the health and social care industry moves back to Direct Observation for assessment, it’s essential to ensure that learners receive comprehensive, hands-on evaluations that truly reflect their journey.

According to Skills for Care’s guidance:
Direct observation should be carried out by a qualified and competent assessor in person, with the learner in the workplace.
Observations must take place over an appropriate period of time, reflective of the learner’s entire qualification journey, not just a 2-hour window.

The amount and duration of these observations will depend on factors such as the qualification level, learner’s individual needs, and workplace circumstances.

At Lagan's Healthcare, we specialise in Training, Competency Assessments, and direct Observation to support care teams, ensuring compliance with these updated standards. Our experienced assessors are here to ensure your team excels, from start to qualification completion.

Get in touch to learn how we can assist your organisation in navigating these changes and maintaining the highest standards of care!

Preventing NG Tube Misplacement: Essential Training for Nurses & Care Professionals

Nasogastric (NG) tube placement is a critical procedure in both adult and paediatric care. Yet, 1-3% of NG tube insertions are misplaced into the lungs annually in the UK, leading to serious complications.

📌 This equates to approximately 10,000 to 30,000 misplacements each year.
📌 In the 2022-2023 period, 8% of all 'Never Events' in England were due to NG tube misplacement.

These statistics highlight the urgent need for robust training to ensure correct placement and equip healthcare professionals with the skills to identify and respond to errors quickly.

At Lagan’s Healthcare, we provide specialist training for nurses and care staff, covering:
✅ Safe NG tube insertion for adults & children (Reg nurses only)
✅ Identifying misplaced NG tubes
✅ Corrective actions and escalation protocols

Enhancing clinical skills in this area can prevent life-threatening errors and improve patient safety. If you’re a healthcare professional looking to upskill or an organisation wanting to improve staff competency, get in touch today!

📢 Let’s work together to reduce NG tube misplacement and save lives.

💥 Is Your Workplace Truly Inclusive? 💥

It’s 2025, and social value is at the heart of every conversation—but are we truly valuing disabled employees?

Senior leaders, it’s time to take a hard look at your workplace. Are you really creating an environment where everyone belongs?
Have you asked a disabled person if their needs are truly met, day in and day out?

Too often, workplaces are built for disabled people rather than with them. Real accessibility starts when disabled employees shape their own work environment, ensuring inclusivity isn’t just a tick-box exercise but a fundamental part of business culture.

At Lagan’s Healthcare, we don’t just talk about inclusion—we’ve lived it. Our team includes people with real, lived experience of disability, so our training isn’t based on theory—it’s shaped by the challenges and realities disabled employees face every day. We help businesses move beyond compliance to create truly accessible, empowering workplaces.

How do you know you are truly accessible? Do you know what steps you need to take to be fully inclusive?

👉 Want to make your workplace inclusive and supportive?
📩 Contact Lagan’s Healthcare today for accessibility audits and training solutions that drive real change.

Supporting the Future of Community Healthcare: Clinical Skills Training Aligned with NHS Neighbourhood Health Guidelines 2025/26

The future of healthcare is shifting towards community-based, home-focused care, and we at Lagan’s Healthcare are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.

With the NHS Neighbourhood Health Guidelines 2025/26 emphasising integrated, home-based support for individuals with complex health needs, the demand for well-trained, competent carers has never been greater.

At Lagan’s Healthcare, we provide accredited clinical skills training tailored to community care settings, ensuring that:

✔ Carers & Nurses are equipped to support children, young people, and adults with complex conditions in their own homes.

✔ Health & Social Care Providers have access to competency-based training aligned with national standards.

✔ Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) & Local Authorities can build a workforce that delivers high-quality, person-centered home care.

We believe training is the key to safer, more effective care in the community. By investing in upskilling staff, we can help reduce hospital admissions, improve patient outcomes, and support families in need.

If you’re a health or care provider looking to enhance your team’s skills, we’d love to connect and discuss how our training can support your workforce.

Let’s work together to raise the standards of home-based healthcare!
