Find out how the award-winning HC-One has used learning to deliver the kindest care (and transform an industry).
“Our goal was to achieve complete transformation; a transformation to become the kindest and most trustworthy care provider in the UK – that’s why we made learning and development a catalyst for change.”- Dr Chai Patel, Chairman of HC-One; Britain’s third-largest care home operator.
The learning leadership team at HC-One, led by Alison Innes-Farquer, ensured that this goal was achieved in record time and has been sustained. The organisation has been transformed by introducing Touch – an innovative learning environment. The organisation has won a multitude of awards in the last 18 months and has been applauded by the Cavendish Review as a catalyst for change in the industry as a whole.
