Although investment in staff development is a prerequisite for high-quality and innovative care, the training needs of front line care staff involved in direct care have often been neglected, particularly within dementia care provision. The Care Certificate, which was fully launched in England in April 2015, has aimed to redress this neglect by providing a consistent and transferable approach to the training of the front line health and social care workforce. This article describes the early stages of an 18-month evaluation of the Care Certificate and its implementation funded by the Department of Health Policy Research Programme.

Psychiatric Sequelae

During 1973 there were 169,362 abortions notified to the Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health. In a leading article the British Medical Journal (1973) acknowledged that ‘bald statistics cannot help to answer the important question of the nature of the physical and emotional sequelae of termination of pregnancy’. The article called for careful prospective studies to assess such sequelae. This paper is a report of a short-term prospective study of the psychiatric sequelae.

Community care has lost its innocence. Critics and evangelists vie for television space and newspaper headlines. The Chief Medical Officer had to beg for clarification of a term that had developed too many meanings and an “ethos of virtue” (Acheson, 1985). How should it be defined? Can a hospital be part of the community? Does it mean care ‘in’ ‘by’ the community? The Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) definition seems to be “the provision of alternatives to long-term institutional care for the chronically sick or those suffering from long-term handicaps or disabilities” (Hunt, 1985). Lord Trefgarne (1984) put the policy aim, more simply, as “to move out of hospital those people who do not really need to be there”.
