Health and Social Care Training
The Institute is committed to helping individuals and organisations to develop the skills needed for
success and make a real difference in the work place.
Whether you are:
a manager or clinician,
administrative or support staff,
Health and Social Services Department employee or not,
based in a hospital, health centre, allied health organisation or general practice,

our tailor made training packages will provide elements of theory and practice, while also
covering national occupational standards.
Educating health and social care providers is a huge responsibility. The Institute provides instructor-
led, hands-on courses to help bridge theory and practice. Courses are held in the Institute's training
rooms at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital, or at your facility. Courses range from introductory
training to simulator courses which attract nationally recognised certification.
Many of our training packages are theory and practical based, and where necessary cover the
national occupational standards for each procedure.
The practical element of our healthcare
skills training packages involves candidates
practicing their 'new' skill on simulator
manikins, which give the candidates a
'realistic' experience of performing the
procedure, within a safe environment,
where errors can be made without
compromising patient safety.
The Institute promotes effective, successful
and enjoyable training designed to develop
the skills and understanding of the health
and social care workforce. The Institute staff
have the appropriate skills, experiences and
training to effectively facilitate learning.
The course descriptors on the following pages are examples of the training available at
the Institute. Please contact the Institute on 707328 for further information or to discuss
your particular training need, even if it is not covered in this prospectus.
