The Challenge

The challenge facing Nursing Homes  is to ensure that your new care staff receive quality induction training in an easy to deliver, time and cost effective method.

All induction training must cover the following six Common Induction Standards (CIS):

• understanding principles of care
• understanding the organisation and role of the worker
• maintaining safety at work
• communicating effectively
• recognising and responding to abuse and neglect
• developing as a worker.

Each of the above standards contains a number of knowledge outcomes that care workers need to know before they can work unsupervised. Nursing Homes have a responsibility to ensure staff are fully trained and will be required to demonstrate a comprehensive training and staff development programme as part of their inspections.

The RNHA Care-Academy provides a comprehensive and up to date training solution with the ability to track users and produce detailed training reports on-demand.
