The NHS faces an unprecedented people challenge, not just in attracting staff but also in retaining people and ensuring they’re able to deliver the best they can in often difficult circumstances.

With the need to improve staff mobility and for staff to take on new roles whilst embracing the potential of digital, having the right skills is a critical success factor.

Skills building nowadays is key to service improvement and organisational transformation: having the right skills gives employees confidence and reduces stress, forming an important part of the wellbeing agenda.

We understand that healthcare is a diverse and interconnected system of different needs, issues and challenges and have deployed our award-winning training services to whole patient populations, senior leaders, experienced staff and those at the start of their careers, including apprentices. 

We provide training and associated support, such as coaching, as well as teaching those increasingly important soft skills, such as creativity, emotional intelligence and decision-making. Our experience enables us to safely manage sensitive training topics such as safeguarding and offender training, where trust and relationships are as important as content delivery.  

For healthcare organisations, our learning solutions enable skills to form part of your coordinated response.
