Keeping SHARP 'fit for purpose'

At SHARP we convene a Focus Group each year where we invite feedback from our users to keep it ‘fit for purpose’ and ‘user-friendly’.

Over the last year most SHARP documents have been improved and at least 9 new documents have been created, either as a result of feedback from the Focus Group or from new guidance and legislation.

SHARP continues to evolve to meet the needs of our ever-changing sector

SHARP in use by Chelsea Pensioners' Margaret Thatcher Infirmary

SHARP Records & Plans is pleased to announce that the Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the Chelsea Pensioners, has chosen our SHARP care planning system for the Margaret Thatcher Infirmary; a 100 bed on-site care home with nursing. The Infirmary joins our other large care home groups Care South and N Notaro Homes who use SHARP Records & Plans across their homes.

The introduction of the SHARP will replace a computer based approach to care planning. Pictured is Deputy Matron & Registered Manager Susan Williams receiving the first batch of SHARP information folders from Cathy Butterworth, following a successful introductory training session at the Infirmary.

Colonel Laura Bale, Matron & Director of Care Services at the Royal Hospital said:

“We chose SHARP because of the emphasis on person centred care and the excellent training delivered prior to the implementation of the new care plans.

We look forward to realising the benefits of SHARP which we have already identified as more relevant, more accessible and more meaningful to our Pensioners, their families and our staff."

The Margaret Thatcher Infirmary provides residential, nursing and domiciliary care to all Chelsea Pensioners in need at the Royal Hospital. There is also a GP medical practice on the ground floor providing a full range of primary care services. This magnificent new building was opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2009.
