    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to train care staff in basic emergency call processes

    Wider context from the report

    “1. During the inquest I heard evidence that Health care staff had not been trained on basic process as follows: • Making 999 calls – to obtain an outside line caller’s needed to first dial “9”. The HCA instructed to make the 999 call did not know this so the call was unsuccessful. The registered nurse looking after the patient whilst he was choking had to make the 999 call resulting in her leaving the patient. • When to Start CPR. The RGN and HCA (Health Care Assistants) staff had received no training on the CPR and choking policy The concern is that staff are not trained in basic processes and therefore not able to deal with emergency situations. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of objectively assessed basic training and competence standards for HCAs

    Wider context from the report

    “2. The two HCA’s had no experience or basic training before starting work as HCA’s. They had limited understanding of conditions and processes. Consideration needs to be given as to whether there should be mandatory training or minimum standards, which are objectively assessed, to ensure HCA’s have the necessary knowledge and understanding to undertake their role. ”
