New Mandatory Training arrangements for Clinical Consultants on joint appointments with °×С½ãÂÛ̳H
6 March 2024
New arrangements were introduced to reduce the duplication of mandatory training that Clinical Consultants on joint appointments with °×С½ãÂÛ̳H are required to do.
Dear Colleagues,
Please note some new arrangements for reducing the duplication of mandatory training that Clinical Consultants on joint appointments with °×С½ãÂÛ̳H are required to do. This agreement does not currently apply to researchers or other staff groups working across both organisations.
We are writing to inform you of a significant development regarding mandatory training courses for clinicians affiliated (via joint, permanent appointments) with both °×С½ãÂÛ̳ (°×С½ãÂÛ̳) and °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (°×С½ãÂÛ̳H).
We are pleased to announce that a formal agreement has been established between °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and °×С½ãÂÛ̳H. As a result of this collaboration, clinicians who successfully complete specified mandatory training at °×С½ãÂÛ̳H, will be granted exemption from undergoing similar training within the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ mandatory training requirements.
The specific °×С½ãÂÛ̳ mandatory training courses covered under this agreement are as follows:
- Data Protection and Freedom of Information
- Information Security Training
- Prevent at °×С½ãÂÛ̳
- Introduction to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
- Basic Fire Safety
- Safety Induction
It is vital that clinicians always keep their mandatory training records up to date at °×С½ãÂÛ̳H for this collaboration to work. °×С½ãÂÛ̳H will send the data to °×С½ãÂÛ̳ each month under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the organisations.
This collaboration signifies a significant step forward in streamlining training protocols for clinicians, ensuring efficiency and consistency in compliance measures across both °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and °×С½ãÂÛ̳H.
Should you require any further information or clarification regarding this agreement, please do not hesitate to reach out to Matthew Nolan (Head of Education Services, °×С½ãÂÛ̳H) or Ankur Shah (Digital Learning & Technologies manager, °×С½ãÂÛ̳).
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to continued collaboration between °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and °×С½ãÂÛ̳H. We will now be talking to other NHS Trusts to implement this arrangement.
