Guideline topic resources
The NCCSC developed these resources to support the implementation of our social care guidelines.
Home care
Tailored resource - Implementing the home care guideline (NG21): for home care providers and commissioners
This resource will help you implement NICE's guideline on home care: delivering personal care and practical support to older people living in their own homes. It explores how challenges to implementing the guideline can be overcome, and links to key resources and case studies to help you do this. It is particularly relevant to providers of home care services and commissioners in local authorities and the NHS.

This resource will help you implement the recommendations about the named care coordinator role in NICE's guideline on older people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions. Drawing on the discussions from 3 focus groups facilitated by Age UK Sutton, which comprised older people living in their own homes and in a care home, it presents the views and expectations that older people have of this role.
Making progress on personal and joined up support: report of a roundtable discussion

Transition between inpatient hospital settings and community or care home settings for adults with social care needs
Improving how community and hospital-based staff work together to ensure coordinated, person-centred support [.pdf]
NICE held two workshops soon after publication of the guideline to explore how it can be used to improve practice. The hosts for these events were Derbyshire County Council and Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. This report summarises the issues and actions emerging from discussions at both events. It also sets out some practical initiatives, ideas and resources that will be useful to other areas in the country that are aiming to improve practice around transition.
