Activity Handbook: All you want to know but were afraid to ask

This text is primarily aimed at UK Activity Coordinators. Do you ever feel that you’ve got the dream job in activities then find out there’s no structure in how to do it? That’s certainly what I found when I became an Activity Coordinator. Thankfully, with a business background I was able to put a system in place that made my life a lot easier. It’s easy to use the internet to find actual activities. But how do we find activities that are person-centred to suit our residents rather than something random? How do we file all the paperwork efficiently?

This book is a guide to helping you build the foundations for a smoother working life giving you the time in your day to do the job you love. Activity Handbook is aimed at both experienced practitioners wishing to introduce procedures that comply with today’s protocol, and those new to the profession.

This is not a book of activities but a book to help you build great foundations to make your role easier so you can concentrate on the important thing; your residents.
