Education facilities
We have two purpose-built training centres at our hospitals.
As healthcare workers we are all still required to remain up to date with the statutory, mandatory and essential-to-role training relevant to our jobs. To help colleagues to access the training and development they need:
- Many Programmes already delivered via eLearning are still available
- Many Programmes previously delivered in classrooms are being redesigned for our digital platforms
