Norfolk and East Suffolk Training (NEST) has been down in Eastbourne over the past two weeks working with Little Acorns mental health care home. The home is due to open soon and NEST was asked to develop and implement an induction training package for the staff. We worked closely with the management team and developed a week long induction course to meet the requirements specific to the home and the kind of residents who will be living there. From professional boundaries, first aid, mental health and mental capacity act, clinical note writing, medication management, break away techniques and risk assessment we have covered a broad range of topics.
One area we focus on is the power of learning through discussion and creating an environment where people are comfortable to share their thoughts and experiences. We find this leads to real life case discussion, helps people apply the knowledge they are learning to real situations and understand how they will use it in practice.
We had a great time and have received some really good feedback on our google reviews which really helps us.
The staff we have met will be great in their new role and we look forwards to our continued relationship with Little Acorns and specialist care.
NEST is happy to work with any business to develop and implement a range of different training courses including one off session or more comprehensive induction training packages. We can also offer refresher training. Contact us to discuss any training needs.
