A programme of training ideal for unregistered new starters such as Healthcare Support Workers, Support Workers and AHPs or existing unregistered staff looking to upskill - delivered by the Clinical Training team within Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

The Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust are committed to ensuring that unregistered staff new to the Trust/job role or wishing to upskill or refresh in the underpinning basics of training in health and social care are given every opportunity to do so by:

  • Having adequate and appropriate resources and training to support any transition or development into a new or existing role
  • Supporting the professional practice of the individual within their role, personal development and potential career progression
  • Building confidence and competence within their job roles

The Trust believes that we can deliver high performance through skilled individuals working effectively in teams together, who share collective responsibility and are led and managed well at all levels and across all professional disciplines.

There is a wide range of accessible in-house leadership and management development opportunities available as well as support to undertake regional and nationally delivered programmes. Opportunities include programmes leading to formal qualifications, as well as those with a more practical focus; workshops, master classes, or conferences and focused individual development through 360° feedback, coaching and mentoring support.

We also have coaches who can work with team leaders to support team development opportunities, using the principles of Team Based Working.
