- Project Summary
The WHELD well-being training intervention for care homes has shown benefits in two clinical trials by improving quality of life, mental health and reduced use of sedatives, and has been developed for virtual supervision. It has now been adapted to the COVID-19 context and evaluated in a RTC; an “implementation ready” programme will then be rolled out for care homes nation-wide.
