BLACK Swan Care Group’s The Haven in Boston has introduced a new care colleagues’ breakfast club at the home.
Professional colleagues from across the health and social care sector are invited to meet staff, residents and others at the home, while enjoying a sausage or bacon roll and a hot drink freshly prepared by the home’s kitchen team.
Manager Evangeline Girling said: “I read elsewhere that a care home in Surrey had introduced a similar idea and thought it would be a great idea for us to give it a try.
“The idea is that anyone from the Blue Light services – police, ambulance, paramedics, fire fighters can pop in. We’d also like to welcome other health and social care representatives – doctors, district nurses, social workers etc.
“We work really closely with all these health and care professionals during our working day, but don’t often have time to get to know them properly or understand some of the different pressures they’re facing.
“Of course we don’t want to interrupt their busy schedules, but as part of our commitment to working collaboratively with everyone in our sector, and within our local community, we thought this would be a good idea.”
The breakfast club runs on the first and thirrd Friday of each month from 9am to 11am.
