Reducing Resistance to Essential Care – Showcase Event

Practical approaches to Essential Care delivery

Join NAPPI UK for a practical one-day showcase introducing our Reducing Resistance to Essential Care (RREC) programme. Designed for professionals working across health, social care, elderly care and dementia services, this event explores how RREC can help reduce distress, strengthen staff confidence and support safer, more dignified care outcomes.

Across care settings, organisations are increasingly looking for practical, person-centred ways to deliver essential care when individuals are anxious, confused, fearful and resisting essential care provision. This interactive showcase event gives delegates the opportunity to see RREC in practice and consider how the approach could support their own services.

About the Showcase

The RREC Showcase Event is a focused, practical and interactive day for organisations seeking scalable approaches to reducing resistance during essential care. Delegates will be introduced to key RREC principles, practical support strategies and real-world scenarios relevant to dementia care, complex care, supported living, NHS services and specialist care teams.

The day is particularly suitable for leaders, trainers, managers, clinicians and practitioners who want to understand how RREC can support safer care delivery while maintaining dignity, consent and human-rights-based practice.

Why RREC Matters

Resistance to essential care is often linked to fear, confusion, anxiety, sensory needs, previous experiences or communication difficulties rather than an intention to cause harm. RREC helps employees recognise these factors early and respond in ways that reduce distress and support co-operation wherever possible.

RREC equips employees with the skills and confidence to:

• Reduce distress and resistance during essential care interactions
• Recognise early signs of anxiety, fear and escalation
• Support dignity, consent and person-centred care approaches
• Improve confidence when delivering sensitive or essential interventions
• Create calmer, safer environments for both service users and care teams

Throughout the showcase, experienced NAPPI trainers will introduce key RREC modules, demonstrate practical support approaches and facilitate discussion around real-world care challenges.
