Core Skills
Immedicare offers core skills for care homes that can be accessed by staff at all levels.
Our core skills service
Helping to Develop Your Local Care Home Workforce
Specialist nurses, therapists, doctors and other healthcare-related professionals deliver core skills training to staff as part of on-going and continuing professional development (CPD) but it is increasingly difficult for staff to attend these sessions due to having to travel or being unable to access study time due to frontline pressures.
1,092 staff working in care homes accessed training to enhance skills and knowledge.
The ability to access core skills training remotely, delivered by skilled professionals cannot be underestimated. Immedicare offers core skills programmes that can be accessed by staff at all levels. Our online core skills courses allow for a broad reach for the trainers and no necessity for them to travel to the different locations to deliver the session.
