BEST PRACTICE HEALTHCARE LIMITED

Best Practice Healthcare Limited is a specialist consultancy that partners with nursing homes and residential care providers to strengthen clinical leadership and elevate the quality of care. Drawing on over 22 years of hands-on nursing and management experience, founder Deirdre Kennedy works alongside Directors of Nursing and Persons in Charge, offering both short-term and long-term support that moves beyond advice to hands-on assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care pathways.

The company's core services include reviewing and personalising policies and procedures, coaching staff to fill practice gaps, and delivering tailored training workshops for clinical and non-clinical teams. Best Practice also provides clinical representation on safeguarding inquiries, runs on-site safeguarding and fire-safety workshops, and assists with health-and-safety compliance, risk-assessment, and quality-improvement plans. Additional support covers clinical audits, recruitment and screening, induction, mentorship, complaints handling and the development of individualised action plans to boost staff retention and resident satisfaction.

By embedding experienced nursing managers within client teams, Best Practice Healthcare helps organisations streamline governance, reduce turnover, and create a proactive culture of risk management and continuous improvement. Their personalised consultancy model is designed for everything from family-run homes to large national groups across Ireland.
