We run a portfolio of in-house courses that can be accessed by all staff to enhance their professional development needs.

The training is supported by the use of modern equipment including part task trainers for such skills as venepuncture and full body manikins for the practice of emergency drills.


It would be beneficial to have the essential qualifications however applicants not in possession of the Independent Non-Medical Prescribing and/or Consultation and Health Assessment modules may apply.

However, this would be in line with annex 21 of Agenda for Change and commence the role as a Band 6 until the successful completion of modules and then a transition to Band 7 will take place.
