ATLAS eMAR Ltd
www.invatechhealth.com/products/atlas
Atlas is the only electronic medicines management system in the UK, proven through independent research to improve resident safety, care home efficiency and accountability.
Our mission is to improve patient outcomes, reduce NHS costs and enhance the way healthcare professionals deliver care.

ATLAS eMAR is the only independently evaluated medication administration system that has been shown to eradicate 21 out of 23 medication error types, save 65 staff hours per month on medication, representing over £1500 savings per month and improve accountability by reducing missing entries by 85%.
There are four unique features of ATLAS eMAR:
Use of barcode validation to ensure all the rights of medicine administration are checked. This feature eradicates most common medication errors.
Automatic two-way link between the pharmacy and care home. This ensures that the pharmacy is aware of therapy changes made at the home and can sort out discrepancies with prescriptions before they become errors. The pharmacy can also see all prescription requests and the actual stock counts of each medicine at the care home. This leads to efficiencies in ordering, booking in and returning of medicines.
The data from ATLAS eMAR on medication administrations can now be viewed on most e-care planning platforms through our open API. This means that all aspects of resident care including medications can now be viewed in one place.
ATLAS eMAR can now be used on any suitable android device. This means that if you already have an android device for e-care plans, then you can run ATLAS eMAR on it, making it a very cost effective option.
ATLAS eMAR has a national network of enabled pharmacies and can work with any pharmacy, as long as they agree to support the care home with the technology.
The implementation is detailed and fully supported. Training is via on-line e-learning and webinars. Over 95% of care homes who implemented ATLAS eMAR indicated that they would never go back to their traditional medication system.

DeChoker UK
Dechoker UK have been supporting the care sector for nearly 3 years they have prevented dozens of choking deaths in the adult care sector.
The Dechoker ACD has been developed for use in a choking emergency when existing Basic Life Support techniques have failed.

Dechoker UK have been supporting the care sector for nearly 3 years – during which time they have prevented dozens of choking deaths. The Dechoker ACD – Airway Clearance Device – has been developed for use in a choking emergency when existing Basic Life Support techniques have failed.
When a person’s airway is obstructed, and they cannot breathe – either with food or another object – then time is critical. The hand-held Dechoker creates directed suction over the airway and is designed to remove food, liquid, or other obstructions.
A study by the Northamptonshire NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with multiple care providers over 2-year period demonstrates just how effective the Dechoker can be. In a choking situation this was evident in both the successful removal of the obstruction and in the resident’s recover after the incident.
In a significant number of cases there was no requirement for the victim to attend A&E, the impact of which in the new Covid-19 era is all too obvious.
User training is delivered via the free CPD Certified eLearning module. This is provided using either the standalone platform or by one of their training partners which currently includes eLFY, Access, My Learning Cloud, Altura Learning, Care Shield and Cornerstone.

Judgement Index
Unlike any other assessment, the Judgement Index measures values-based behaviour and judgement capacity. It supports the hiring process, staff appraisals and leadership development.
It is used by care companies to positively impact on recruitment quality, staff turnover and to improve continuity and quality of care.

We work with a wide variety of care companies including care homes, domiciliary care, charities and companies that focus on learning disabilities, dementia or other needs. Most approach us initially because of issues with:
Recruiting and retaining staff with the right values
Leadership development
Staff development and succession planning
Culture and spirit within the company or home
Recruiting and retaining staff with the right values
Our Care Sector report has been benchmarked against high performing care workers and has enabled us to create a concise, easy to use report that comes with interview questions to help guide the conversation.
As the assessment only takes around fifteen minutes to complete, and reports are instantly generated, it is a popular choice for care companies looking to identify the right people for the job, particularly when they have a history of poor staff turnover. The Judgement Index allows interviewers to be more objective and helps to standardise recruitment practices across multiple managers and locations.
Leadership Development
Our Leadership Academies and workshops range from half a day up to a ten day leadership course and we have over 20+ modules which can be adapted for your team’s needs.
Our training is interactive, practical and now fully virtual if required, delivering leadership techniques and models that the delegates can go back and put into practice immediately.

“The legacy of the work Little Islands have done for Willowbrook is to raise the quality of the environment and create resources that make a difference to the quality of life we can bring to the clients each day. Their imagination and creativity was inspiring and the level of detail in their craftsmanship was outstanding”
St Johns House - Donna Burkhill, Activities Manager

Well designed, beautifully made and simple to use, we particularly like the fact that you can change the theme to suit the occasion whether it be Bingo, head scratching Quizzes, Afternoon Tea Parties and Sing-Alongs”
