Pressbox (Press Release) -
A well-respected consultant and manager has just published a bible for all budding care home managers.
Over the past decade Liam Palmer has become an authority on elderly care.
The 46-year-old from Birmingham has not only held several senior managerial positions himself, but he is also a consultant to potential owners of care homes.
Liam also produces a hugely popular podcast where he interviews industry experts.
And, despite having dyslexia, he has now written his third authoritative guide for successfully running care homes.
So You Want to be a CQC Registered Care Home Manager? has already topped Amazon’s hospital and care home charts as well as receiving a string of five-star reviews.
Liam believes his latest guide is perfect reading for anyone wanting to follow his footsteps into care home management.
He explained: “So You Want to be a CQC Registered Care Home Manager? was in response to people in the sector saying they wanted a practical hands-on book they could read and implement.
“It was moving away from the focus in my previous books on values and strategy.
“Someone I work with wanted to understand how running residential care homes worked and asked me to write small pieces to join the dots in an accessible way.
“Once I realised his points were an unmet need in the market, I worked hard to complete it and I’m glad I did.
“The message from So You Want to be a CQC Registered Care Home Manager? is that it is all linked – marketing, finance, compliance, staffing and managing a care service well, you need to know how all these pieces fit together.
“Secondly, the importance of providing effective leadership to your service and how to do this.”
Liam’s previous two books - Management Development for Care and Nursing Home Managers from 2016, and the more recent Leadership Secrets for Care Home Managers – were both professionally well-received and are highly regarded within the industry.
So You Want to be a CQC Registered Care Home Manager? has been met with similar enthusiasm and glowing reviews.
Reviewers has described So You Want to be a CQC Registered Care Home Manager? as ‘a great resource’, ‘providing clear pragmatic advice and guidance’ and ‘written from real-world experience’.
Critic Guy Winter added: “Packed full of useful information and advice for anyone who is currently a manager or thinking about taking on a care home management role.”
Liam believes having his own experience of care home management as well as interviewing others in a similar position has helped his understanding and writing.
He added: “I run a large nursing home and occasionally work as a consultant to investors and entrepreneurs in social care.
“This latest book took me eight months to write and six years to research, during which time I was working for a broad range of care providers as an interim manager and consultant - the experiences gave me perspective.
“I started a podcast on care quality in 2019 to continue to develop my thinking beyond my experience.
“So far, I have completed 16 interviews with 15 industry leaders, and this has been transformational for me.”
