Training to Stay Ahead
The pace of change in every aspect of the medical world is astonishing. One statistic illustrates this better than any other, life expectancy in older adults. Between 1980 and 2005 life expectancy at age 65 in the United Kingdom increased by 3.7 years for males and 2.5 years for females. Today, a 65 year old man can now expect to live until 81 years old; and a 65 year old woman can expect to live until 84. The younger generations can expect to live even longer.
This all goes to prove that medical science is changing and improving, constantly and rapidly. That is why it is important that medical professionals, whichever sector of healthcare they work in, should keep up to date with the latest techniques and thinking. That's why Draycott Nursing & Care provides an ongoing training programme for staff, under the leadership of a full-time Nurse Tutor, something we believe is unique in a home nursing and caring agency.
