Could these HIQA red flags be hiding in your nursing home?

The most recent inspection reports show the same high-risk issues appearing repeatedly — governance failures, infection control breakdowns, staffing gaps, and care not delivered in line with residents' care plans.

Join us on for a practical webinar were we will review the key red flags emerging from recent HIQA inspections in nursing homes. We will highlight were HIQA scrutiny is focused, and how to assess whether these risks exist in your own service before they become findings.
