"Good
Lord!! A book about the healthcare industry written by people who
obviously understand it! You might even think they work in it! Heresy!!
And
people who understand the principles of learning and knowledge
principles! What next?
This book is a must for anyone working in a healthcare system that needs
to maintain pace with changing investor or public expectation (Well
that's 99% of us!) My experience of "toolkits" and
"exercises" like this often patronises or annoys me, but in
this book the processes are so relevant to the real environment in which
patients and carers expect the best service and outcomes possible.
The most relevant and practical management support book I've
bought"

''This
book reinforces the workplace ethos of the NHS. If you are a lay person
reading this book it inspires confidence in that the NHS is committed to
the educational/professional development of the organisation and the
people who work within it''
UPDATE
''This book deals with a very important concept that has much to
offer the health service. Those involved in primary care policy should
read this book''
BRITISH JOURNAL OF GENERAL PRACTICE
''I recommend this book as a guide to the development of learning
organisations that gives direction for those charged with such an
essential task''
NURSING STANDARD
''This book inspires confidence that the NHS is committed to the
educational/professional development of the organisation and the people
who work within it''
CLIMB UPDATE
''In aiming for a comprehensive text, the authors cover a good
deal of ground on organisational development and learning. The result is
a wide-ranging guide to implementing some of the ideas on organisational
learning currently popular within the NHS. The book provides a useful
introduction to organisational learning and should encourage anyone
interested to read more widely around the subject. I would particularly
recommend it for undergraduate students and for managers coming to the
subject for the first time''
BRITISH JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE COMPUTING AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
''This book addresses everyone who works in the healthcare
community with its message of lifelong learning for all staff to
increase the quality of care in the National Health Service. A useful
guide for planning strategies of learning''

| Statutory
& Mandatory Training Toolkit |
| Statutory and mandatory training
is an area that all healthcare organisations are required to tackle, yet
it is commonly undertaken as a tick-box exercise without flair or
creativity. Proof of attendance at a training course is not in itself
proof of competence. This practical reference has been designed to
......support health and social care organisations
wanting to create a structured approach to statutory and mandatory
training, to review existing training or just to make improvements to
ensure legal compliance and safe working practices. It provides logical,
step-by-step guidance to reassure managers and trainers that they are
meeting their legal responsibilities and therefore minimising the risk
of litigation. It also offers frameworks and templates for assessing and
recording competence and identifying further training needs. Statutory
and Mandatory Training in Health and Social Care will be useful to
everyone involved in training with responsibilities at strategic and
operational level, and particularly to chief executives, directors and
senior managers, human resources staff, safety officers, clinical
governance managers, cross-infection nurses, community and school
nurses, and managers of GP surgeries, care homes, residential nursing
homes, day centres, and nurseries. |
