Day-in, day-out, responsibility for the health, and well-being of many of the most vulnerable elderly members of UK society is entrusted to 5,500 different provider-organisations across the UK. By autumn 2020, Public Health England reported that more than 43,000 plus care home residents had tested positive for Coronavirus. Modelled on this activity, knowledge, and experience, Knowlex – in consultation with key professional-stakeholder organisations and individuals designed the CAREHOMES22: BEYOND COVID conference; enabling the UK care homes sector to come together; learn lessons of recent experiences; and better understand how they can ‘future-proof’ their ongoing infection prevention-andcontrol, risk-management and safety culture responsibilities
For over 15 years the Knowlex team have been a trusted and valued resource for healthcare professionals. Knowlex’s activities centre on delivering educational activities for the “whole health economy”. Working with senior government policymakers and advisors such as SAGE we are able to deliver a series of activities and documents that enable local leaders and commissioners to deliver national strategies. Our offering is no longer just a domestic venture within the UK as we now collaborate with international colleagues from countries across Europe, and others further afield including the USA, Canada, and the Middle East.
