Delivery

What support is available to help us roll out the training?
We offer onboarding materials, communications templates, and implementation guidance to support smooth delivery and staff engagement.
Do you offer a pilot or trial version?
Yes, pilot sessions or access to sample modules can be arranged to help you assess fit before wider rollout.

Who is this training designed for?
This training is aimed at non-clinical staff, administrative teams, volunteers, managers working across healthcare organisations.

How is the training delivered?
Options include face-to-face sessions, live online workshops, and self-paced e-learning. We can adapt the format to suit your workforce and infrastructure.
Can our nurses/allied professionals attend without a camera or microphone?
We stipulate that a camera and microphone are needed. This is because the courses are interactive with breakout rooms. It is unfair to other delegates to try to work with someone who can only communicate in the chat. It is also difficult to teach delegates who we are unable to see or hear.
Some of our health professionals have dyslexia. How do you accommodate them?
If we are aware before the course date we assess their individual needs. We send out slides so that they can have more time to read through them. We make allowances in an assessment situation. We use concept checking to ensure that they understand before moving on. We are mindful of using colours on our slides to be easily read.
What happens if one of our health care professionals is unwell or has a last minute clinic?
We can accommodate them on another iteration of the course for no extra cost. We are always happy to discuss a solution for them.
Can we choose the dates and times of courses we commission?
We are happy to accommodate your request if possible. We can deliver courses in the evenings or weekends if you prefer.
What if the course has not included what our healthcare professionals need?
We ask for individual learning needs when delegates register. All of our course leaders ask at the beginning of the course about what delegates want from the session. There are also lots of opportunities to ask questions. We are happy to discuss any issues and will try to ensure delegates get what they need.
