Training, Education & Development<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Management</strong>, including incident/accident reporting, is core to the <strong>NHS</strong>L<br />
Corporate Induction Programme, delivered via Organisational Development. This<br />
programme is delivered on Monday and Tuesday of every week for all new employees<br />
including bank staff. On joining the organisation and attending the Corporate<br />
Induction, the opportunity was taken by the <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Co–ordinator to<br />
undertake an audit of the content of the risk presentation. The outcomes indicated<br />
that no material change was required.<br />
Local sessions development and maintenance of Locality <strong>Risk</strong> Registers continue to<br />
be undertaken on an ad hoc basis.<br />
As part of the implementation of the web–based module within the DATIX system,<br />
there was a series of demonstrations of the system and re-iteration of the Incident<br />
and Accident <strong>Report</strong>ing requirements. Ad hoc training continues to support this<br />
as staff change positions, new staff are employed and have verifiers role. This is<br />
now managed on a 1:1 basis as the initial cohort of staff have been trained. Group<br />
sessions have extended this year to:<br />
◦ Health Records Senior Manager Group<br />
◦ Infection Control Team<br />
◦ Locality <strong>Management</strong> Teams<br />
◦ Information Governance Sessions<br />
◦ Older Peoples Services Clinical Governance Group<br />
◦ PSSD dedicated staff on reporting facility<br />
◦ Pharmacy Managers<br />
◦ Community Dental Teams<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Occupational Health & Safety Team deliver a variety of in–house risk training<br />
both accredited training (IOSHH) and in response to department/organisation<br />
needs.<br />
The DATIX system is linked to the DOTS medical staff training/induction<br />
programme.<br />
Through the Medical Education Department, the Systems Administrator continues<br />
to deliver demonstrations on the DATIX system and an overview of clinical incident<br />
reporting for both junior medical staff and Consultants.<br />
A series of awareness sessions have commenced across the <strong>Management</strong> &<br />
Governance Groups to launch the revised Guidance Manual.<br />
