The CAPA improvement programme is an 18-month initiative led by the Care Inspectorate in Scotland to promote physical activity among older adults in care homes and other care services. The goal is to build the skills and confidence of care staff to improve emotional and physical wellbeing through activity. Over 135 care services and 230 Care Inspectorate staff participated. Learning events educated almost 1000 professionals. Early results from 6-week trials found improvements in balance, mobility, strength and reduced falls risk for participants. One resident significantly improved appetite, weight, skin health, engagement and no longer needed walking aids after increased activity.

Editor's Notes
- Welcome
- How do we measure the impact of CAPA? When measuring improvement you need to know where you are starting from, and where you get to. The Learning Events are designed to engage with care professionals and ensure they take on board that part of their job of ensuring a good quality of life is to support and promote movement for those they work for. These results are statistically significant. Once care professionals had a chance to think about their role in supporting movement, they returned to their services and started putting small tests of change into action

- Moving forward 4 months and the improvements are even more apparent Last week Abe took another resident for a walk
