Open to everyone, including people working or wishing to work with older adults, people interested in daily living support at home, family carers and people considering support roles in care organisations.

## Curriculum

### Daily Living Support for Patients and Older Adults

#### 1. Care ethics and personal independence

The caregiver's role, privacy, consent, respect, preserving the recipient's independence and role boundaries. Practice: prepare a person-centred daily-support goals form.

#### 2. Activities of daily living

Dressing, personal hygiene, preparing meal settings and safe routines, distinguished from treatment procedures. Practice: create morning and evening self-care support schedules.

#### 3. Safe mobility and fall prevention

Assessing household risks, appropriate environmental arrangements, ergonomics and following professional instructions when supporting mobility. Practice: mark fall risks on a sample home plan.

#### 4. Nutrition, fluids and swallowing risks

Recognising age-related needs and following a doctor or dietitian's advice for special diets and swallowing difficulties. Practice: design a meal and fluid-support record.

#### 5. Communication and psychosocial support

Respectful communication around loneliness, hearing or visual differences, forgetfulness and caregiver exhaustion. Practice: role-play an empathetic conversation.

#### 6. Cleaning and infection awareness

Hand hygiene, surface cleaning, separating personal items, using masks or gloves when appropriate and reporting symptoms. Practice: prepare a home-care hygiene checklist.

#### 7. Recognising and reporting changes in condition

Contacting 112 or the healthcare team promptly for sudden changes in consciousness, breathlessness, falls or deterioration; no diagnosis or treatment. Practice: complete an observation and incident-notification form.

#### 8. Support plans and job applications

Safe handover, routine monitoring, care reports, family communication and interpreting job duties and qualifications. Practice: create a weekly support plan and skills portfolio for a fictional client.

### Hygiene and Sanitation

#### 1. Hygiene fundamentals and transmission routes

Microorganisms, contact transmission, the role of surface and hand hygiene, and risks in different areas. Practice: map frequently touched surfaces and list associated risks.

#### 2. Hand hygiene and personal protective equipment

When hand cleaning is required, why gloves do not replace hand hygiene, and principles for masks and gowns. Practice: prepare a protective-equipment selection checklist.

#### 3. Cleaning plans and suitable products

Distinguishing cleaning from disinfection, understanding product labels, safe storage and avoiding mixing chemicals. Practice: create a day, frequency and responsibility schedule.

#### 4. Preventing cross-contamination

Separating clean and dirty areas, one-way workflows and management of shared equipment. Practice: redesign a workstation's clean-to-dirty flow.

#### 5. Safe waste segregation

Waste categories under organisational procedures, sharps risks and seeking authorised advice about uncertain waste. Practice: prepare a waste-bin placement checklist.

#### 6. Personal hygiene and professional appearance

Work clothing, daily self-care, shared facilities and notifying the workplace about potentially infectious symptoms. Practice: write a personal-hygiene awareness plan.

#### 7. Environmental checks and quality

Cleaning frequencies, records, recognising and reporting nonconformities, and coordinating routine inspections with responsible teams. Practice: complete a hygiene checklist and a sample nonconformity report.

#### 8. Hygiene communication and lasting habits

Informing patients, visitors and staff without stigma, and adapting safe habits to work and home. Practice: write a short, clear hygiene-awareness poster text.

### First Aid Certificate

#### 1. First-aid purpose and legal boundaries

Scene safety, communicating with 112 and maintaining safety until professional help arrives; official first-aider certification requires an authorised centre and assessment. Practice: prepare a scene-safety assessment card.

#### 2. Awareness of consciousness and breathing assessment

Recognising emergencies, theoretical principles of consciousness and breathing checks, and calling for help without delay. Practice: rehearse a 112 call for a fictional incident.

#### 3. Basic life support awareness

The scientific purpose of adult and child basic life support, the role of an AED, and learning practical skills with an authorised instructor and manikin. Practice: prepare a manikin-training checklist.

#### 4. Airway obstruction and drowning awareness

Recognising warning signs, initiating an emergency call and learning appropriate interventions through authorised practical training. Practice: prioritise actions on scenario cards.

#### 5. Bleeding, injuries and shock awareness

Safe approaches, recognising severe bleeding, protection and calling medical teams; practical interventions require authorised instruction. Practice: prepare emergency-communication scripts for two cases.

#### 6. Fractures, burns and poisoning awareness

Avoiding unsafe movement and harmful home remedies, recognising hazards and seeking professional help. Practice: identify risky behaviours in sample situations.

#### 7. Emergency coordination

Managing bystanders, transferring information, giving 112 accurate location and incident details, and orderly handover to healthcare professionals. Practice: prepare a workplace emergency-communication diagram.

#### 8. Official certification and drills

The importance of an approved curriculum, practical assessment and certification at a centre authorised by the Provincial Health Directorate. Practice: prepare a training plan and learning checklist for an authorised centre.
