The health and wellbeing of older people in care homes depends on them accessing GP services in a timely way. Effective joint working between GP and care home management, the involvement of residents and their relatives and the engagement of care staff are factors that can affect the outcome and lead to quality improvements. This guide sets out steps the care home manager should take, in areas such as record-keeping, medications management and monitoring resident feedback on their experience of medical care, to complement the work of GPs and nurses. The main sections cover: residents entitlements and requirements; managers' responsibilities; GPs' role in relation to the resident; workforce development, standards and regulation. Clear recommendations are made for each section. The guide is written primarily for managers and senior staff of care homes but will also be useful for GPs and members of clinical commissioning groups and joint health and wellbeing boards.

This guide focuses on how practitioners and managers in social care can initiate and sustain the participation of adult service users, including older people, in developing social care. Although it has been designed mainly for practitioners and managers in social care, the guide will be useful to everyone involved in promoting service user participation, including people using services and family carers. Service users now play an increasingly important role in efforts to improve social care services. This guide focuses on how practitioners can initiate and sustain the participation of adult service users, in ways that empower service users and reflect a shared commitment to developing social care services in a more democratic way.
