Expert Mouth-Care Training for Caregivers | Knowledge Oral Healthcare
Our mission is to provide expert mouth-care training, compliance support, and consultancy, giving care home staff the confidence to deliver excellent oral care.
We'll equip care home staff with essential skills and knowledge to deliver effective mouth-care, ensuring residents' dignity, safety, and quality of life.
Oral Champion Course - held via live webinar
Our training covers everything from practical techniques to regulatory compliance.
The CQC (Care Quality Commission) recommends nominating an Oral Champion to promote good practice in oral healthcare and serve as a key link between staff, residents, and management. An Oral Champion ensures that oral health remains a priority in care settings by:
✔️ Advocating for high standards in mouth care.
✔️ Supporting and educating staff on best practices.
✔️ Identifying and addressing oral health concerns early.
By appointing an Oral Champion, care homes can enhance compliance with regulatory standards, improve residents' well-being, and create a culture where oral health is an integral part of daily care.
