The Irish healthcare system has witnessed substantial regulatory enhancements in recent years, reflecting a commitment to elevate the standard of care across various domains to ensure our most vulnerable are taken care as best as possible, within their respective healthcare settings. Legislation, rules and regulations around sensitive issues such as restrictive practises, dementia care and infection control have all been under the HSE spotlight in recent years, and the dynamic landscape of these practices is ever changing to ensure the best care possible for these patients.

Falls prevention has become a paramount concern in Irish healthcare, with regulations intensifying to mitigate risks associated with patient falls. FITAC Healthcare courses integrate the latest guidelines in a practical way, such as those outlined in the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) standards, promoting a hands-on approach to falls prevention strategies.
Dementia Care
The evolving understanding of dementia care has led to a paradigm shift in training requirements. FITAC Healthcare’s programmes incorporate the principles set out in the Dementia: Understand Together initiative, emphasising person-centred care, communication strategies, and a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework, including the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015.

Adherence to regulations concerning restrictive practices is crucial in maintaining the dignity and rights of individuals. FITAC Healthcare’s training modules encompass the Mental Health Act 2001 and the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act 2009, ensuring that healthcare professionals are well-versed in the ethical and legal dimensions surrounding restrictive practices.
Infection Prevention and Control
The importance of infection prevention and control has gained prominence, especially in the context of the ongoing global health challenges. FITAC Healthcare courses align with the Health Service Executive (HSE) guidelines, incorporating best practices in infection control, hygiene, and compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2005.
Personal Safety and De-escalation
In an ever-changing healthcare landscape, personal safety and de-escalation techniques are integral aspects of healthcare training.
