FIND LOCAL HOMECARE

Codes of practice may be created and implemented in accordance with the Healthcare.

In order to encourage optimal practice, codes of practise offer helpful advice to anyone or any organisation carrying out tasks or duties in the Healthcare sector. The Healthcare information is explained in the regulation of practice to people with illness, their families, carers, and professionals.

For all of us to live happily at home and thrive in our communities, we must collaborate to ensure that home care is appreciated.

The dedication to this purpose by provider member organisations of the Healthcare and Social Support Association is reflected in the following Code of Practice. All members of the Healthcare and Social Support Association offer homecare services to people of every age and, under all circumstances, must abide by this Code of Practice.

Members of the Healthcare and Social Support Association must follow the Code of Practice to the level that it relates to the services they provide when functioning as a healthcare agency. When they first join the Healthcare and Social Support Association, they must sign an agreement to adhere to the Code of Practice, and they must do so again every year when their membership is renewed.

A code of practice provides more advice and depth than laws or regulations.
