<t>Thank you all for taking your valuable time writing comments. I do appreciate that every care setting and every caree has different needs and the carer has a plethora of different tasks to do. <br/> <br/> Personal Care is only one aspect of a carers function and it is the only aspect I am focusin...

Thanks again for some great tips Excalibur. Fortunatley we are already preferred suppliers with the commissioning teams so that's a good start. Also, I'm not afraid of a little hard work and welcome the challenge so it should be fun. http://www.carersuk.org/images/icon_lol.gif It's a shame you won't...

<t>Thank you again for your thoughts, but I really want to try this. As I said, I really appreciate your feedback but I have also spoken to a lot of carers who would benefit from basic personal care skills.

Also, if there is anything else you would like me to bring up, then please let me know, otherwise, I will be s...

<t>I totally agree Myrtle. It is an area that seems to have been seriously overlooked by governments, safeguarding panels, the nhs etc.. I have to say that one of the main objections from professionals who could promote and encourage this training is that carers such as yourself wouldn't be interest...

<t>Wow, thank you for your heartfelt reply. I'm so sorry that you have been let down in this way and I can tell you I had the same experiences which is why I have come up with this idea. I don't know where you are based but I am trying to get together a few people who could authorize the training as...

<t>I cared for my grandmother when she was dying from Bowel Cancer. It was a very scary time and at that time I had no idea of where to start or what to do, what help was out there and how to look after her in the best way. Since then I have started my own domiciliary care company. From my own exper...
