Connected learning assists connected practice Important to recognise that care is a complex activity and it takes a particular set of knowledge, skills and values to be a good care worker … not everyone is suited or suitable to work in the care sector There is never just one thing happening in an intervention … people are ‘whole’ beings with ‘whole’ lives and care is not simple ‘Conscious competence’ is important to good practice and to professional self-esteem and identity Recognising connections and transferable skills is both an effective and an efficient measure When you have shown you have learned something - why should you have to evidence your learning twice (or more)? Bringing pieces of the learning jigsaw together …

Sheena’s workrole activities as a support worker : Personal care Key working support Contributing to and implementing care plans — person- centred planning — personal outcomes approach Promotion of mental and physical activity Assessment and management of risk Maintaining and updating records Complying with H&S policies and procedures Taking responsibility for own professional development Undertaking any necessary training Support to administering of prescribed medication Working in partnership with individuals, carers and others Providing support to individuals in meeting physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs Caring for Smiles — Key Messages Good oral health will contribute positively to overall health and wellbeing. Dental decay and gum disease are entirely preventable. Effective daily oral care can prevent oral disease. Looking after oral soft tissues is just as important as looking after the teeth. Early detection of mouth cancer is important so ‘if in doubt, get checked out’. Oral care is the responsibility of every member of the care staff. Care is required 24 hours a day, so this includes both night and day staff. Toothbrushing, diet and dental visits are the main steps towards good oral health, but may need some adaptations for older people. Oral care should be enhanced if older people need or prefer a higher intake of food or drinks containing sugar. Oral health risk assessments, care plans and documentation of daily care should be carried out for every resident. When a resident with dementia becomes uncooperative and won’t let you near their mouth – think! Are they in pain? Eating, drinking and swallowing problems are common among older people and require special assessment and care. In palliative and end-of-life care, mouth care must be carried out regularly to ensure the resident is kept as comfortable as possible. Improving the oral health of older people in Scotland is a Scottish Government priority. Caring for Smiles Learning Outcomes
