Immedicare marks 10-year anniversary with upgraded virtual support services for care homes

Immedicare, the innovative healthcare partnership between Airedale NHS Foundation Trust and Involve Visual Collaboration, celebrates its 10th anniversary by increasing the services it provides. Immedicare now offers seven care elements which align with the Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) framework, in addition to the core online consultation service which has received over 150,000 calls from care homes over the past four years.

The new service package includes a falls service which can provide remote assessments of residents who have fallen, and the development of a falls risk assessment and prevention plan can also be carried out remotely. This has resulted in 85.5% of residents being able to remain in their home after a fall, instead of a potentially unnecessary trip to A&E. In addition to this, a Consultant Pharmacist is part of Immedicare’s multi-disciplinary team to support medicines optimisation and offer advice in complex cases.

Immedicare also offers a series of core skills training programmes that can be accessed by care home staff at all levels. The training consists of 15 core skills courses which have been specifically designed to upskill care home staff so they can provide the best possible outcomes for their residents. Over 1,200 care staff have completed these courses over the past year.

To reflect these developments, Immedicare has launched a new brand identity which will be seen across all of its digital marketing channels as well as its Digital care Hub, based at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.

Marie Buchan, Head of Digital Care Hub at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust said, “We’re proud of our new branding and how it will be used to raise awareness of the enhanced clinical service offerings, knowing how the new care elements will improve the support Immedicare provides to staff and residents in care homes.”

Mick Roach, Director of Digital Healthcare Alliances, Immedicare, commented, “We’re so proud to have reached this 10-year milestone and to launch our new brand identity, which reflects the significant development Immedicare has undergone over the past two years to further enhance the services it delivers to its users.”
