The nursing department recognises that providing learning opportunities is of fundamental importance to the delivery of safe and effective patient care.

Our Education Forum consists of the Practice Development Nurse, Clinical Educators, Resuscitation Officer, Manual Handling Coordinator and leads of key services such as infection control, acute pain and tissue viability.

All clinical areas have access to a Clinical Educator or Learning Representative who provides local support to help staff meet their development needs.
Our comprehensive in-service programme ranges from clinical care to professional development and includes:

• full nursing induction
• regular resuscitation training, including Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Immediate Life Support (ILS) – both Resuscitation Council UK approved
