Time to Manage

When we originally researched this book, every manager we spoke to identified lack of time as one of their greatest pressures.  Many managers reported feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. This practical book sets out to help. It is full of tips and ideas to better manage your time – and safeguard your own wellbeing in the process.

This book was co-written with Pat Pearson and is available on the Skills for Care website.

Nominated Individual Handbook

Caroline Coleman, our CEO, was a Trustee for a charity which ran a care home. During her time in that role, she identified a real lack of understanding of the role of the nominated individual, both by staff and by the NI themselves.

This book, commissioned by Skills for Care, is a deep dive into the role of the nominated individual. It begins with a Quick Start chapter for those in a hurry, followed by an in-depth exploration of the key responsibilities of the Nominated Individual, including their role as contact between CQC and the organisation, support for the registered manager and role as “critical friend”, governance and much more. Since around half of nominated individuals are also registered managers, it offers suggestions in each chapter to help navigate the dual role effectively.

If you are a nominated individual, this book is a “must read”!
