Education and Training

Good education and training is expensive, but a lack of it can be catastrophically costly.

HealthSystems are very good at assessing training and competency situations, defining training needs and putting the relevant training programmes in place. Our principal area of training work is "the use of health informatics" which must not be translated to IT (and hence technical).

Health Informatics has been defined as "the knowledge, skills and systems which enable information to be collected, managed, used and shared to help the delivery of healthcare and to promote good health management".

We provide a range of services, designed to contribute to the development of a health informatics training programme designed specifically for your organisation:

Staff Competency Assessment
Assessing current staff competencies in health informatics and identifying skills and knowledge gaps against the current National Occupational Standards (NOS).

System-Specific Training
Establish specific training requirements for users of existing and planned clinical and non- clinical information systems.

Resource Audit
Review of capacity and scope of existing and available training resources (trainers, equipment, facilities, materials and so on).

Delivery Options
Identifying appropriate training delivery options for each staff group in each topic.

ETD Programme
Education, training and staff development programme to meet the identified requirements for health informatics in your organisation.

Health Informatics ETD Strategy
Development of a specific health informatics ETD strategy as part of a wider ETD strategy that meets the business objectives of the organisation, and fits in with the related HR and ICT plans.

Support Materials
We have produced a large number of health informatics ETD support materials designed specifically for NHS organisations and their staff, including:

  • training and awareness videos
  • computer-based training packs
  • staff and organisation development toolkits
  • open learning materials
  • case studies
  • student workbooks.

We have the experience.
