Gold Standard Framework (GSF)

Heart of Kent Hospice is an approved Regional Training Centre for Gold Standards Framework (GSF) training programme. This programme is for care homes, domiciliary care agencies and retirement villages. The current programme for 6 care homes was successfully completed via remote learning and support with accreditation.

Start date for next group is 24 March 10:00am - 1:00pm. The workshops are held remotely via Zoom.

It aims to achieve:

• better quality of care experienced by all people nearing the end of life
• better communication and co-ordination, systems, and teamwork
• better outcomes for people living well and dying well where they choose
• better outcomes for health systems, better use of limited resources and reducing length of hospital stays.

Understandably there have been some changes to the way we run the Gold Standard Framework training programme because of the coronavirus pandemic.
