Notice Information
Notice Title
CARDIFF AND VALE HEALTH BOARD TRAINING CREDITS
Notice Description
The Education , Culture and Organisational Development Department (ECOD) are looking to put in place a long-term solution to their Training accreditations. This training requirement is essential, as all healthcare support workers are expected to adhere to Developing Excellence in Healthcare: An NHS Wales Skills and Career Framework for Healthcare Support Workers Supporting Nursing and the Allied Health Professions by completing accredited qualifications. These qualifications are a crucial requirement set by the Welsh Government to ensure that all healthcare workers across Wales are accredited in line with the framework. There is also a need for accredited learning for other health care professionals throughout the organisation that require essential education. CAV UHB is an Agored Centre for accredited learning and whilst the majority of education required through Agored is for Health Care Support Workers, ECOD also utilises Agored for additional training programmes when they become available.
