Introduction The healthcare landscape in the UK is continuously evolving. With the development of new sector regulations, standards and definitions, it is essential that your organisation’s training meets every one of those criteria, on-time. and on-budget. Skills for Health’s suite of interactive, innovative and sector-specific elearning courses makes it easy for your organisation to fulfil all of the latest statutory and mandatory training requirements. Versatility is key. Our in-house development team works with industry leaders to ensure that new courses are always developed in-line with current topics and policies – including the Care Certificate, personal health budgets and dementia care. As you would expect from the number one supplier of core elearning to healthcare organisations, our courses are derived from, mapped to and comply with the Core Skills Training Framework – designed to establish consistency across the healthcare sector. Combining our experience and expertise in learning with collaborative and trusted partnership working, we’ve developed our CSTF training on the secure mobile-first platform Gomo Learning. Mobile-first learning is interactive and engaging, nurturing health and social care staff to develop a sound understanding of the critical training they need to comply with the CSTF, and in turn delivering exceptional patient care.
Integrated solutions Core Skills Training Framework The UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) provides minimum standards and guidelines for core skills training in the health sector. For specific subjects, the framework sets out core learning which would be common to a range of settings and roles.Using learning objectives, the framework identifies what a learner would know, understand or be able to do as a result of learning activity. The aim of the framework is to enable greater standardisation in training provision between in the health sector, so that as people move between roles and organisations their previous core skills training can be easily recognised. This aims to reduce unnecessary repetition of training and enable improved efficiency through saved time and resources. The original framework was released in 2013 and has since been maintained and updated, covering eleven statutory and mandatory subjects required in the health sector: • Conflict Resolution • Information Governance • Equality, Diversity and Human Rights • Moving and Handling • Fire Safety • Resuscitation • Health, Safety and Welfare • Safeguarding Children • Infection Prevention and Control • Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Care Certificate Standards Designed with the non-regulated workforce in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that workers have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high-quality care and support. The Care Certificate was developed jointly by Skills for Health, Health Education England and Skills for Care. The elearning provision meets the education aspect of the Care Certificate and is based on the learning objectives of the 15 standards, all of which individuals need to complete in full before they can be awarded their Certificate. Staff will still need to undertake the practical assessments in their organisation before being awarded the Certificate. Clinical/care Framework The aim of this Clinical/Care Framework to build on the model and processes already established by the statutory/mandatory Core Skills Training Framework by providing a suite of additional clinical/care subjects. The Framework is applicable to healthcare employers and also to educational organisations which train students who will subsequently be employed in healthcare. Use of the Framework will support these organisations to; standardise the interpretation of clinical/care education and training, guide the focus and aims of clinical/care education and training delivery, ensure the educational relevance of clinical/care training, and improve the quality and consistency of clinical/care education and training provision. It covers nine clinical care subjects frequently required in the health sector: • Blood Component Transfusion • Fluids and nutrition • Communication • Person-centred care • Consent • Privacy and dignity • Dementia awareness • Your healthcare career • Duty of care
