How will I be assessed during the HCSWD programme?
NHS Professionals Provided Training
Your training begins with mandatory classroom training. Your trainer will sign this off to say you have attended.
You must also complete Conflict Management Training. It usually takes place every Thursday at 1 pm or 4:30 pm and lasts 90 minutes. To book, please complete this form.
Trust Provided Training
You will have a workbook which you will work through whilst on placement. Your Ward Manager or mentor will update this as you progress. They will also notify us when you complete your placement hours and your workbook. The Care Certificate Standards should be signed off by a Registered Nurse working in the practice environment.
If you require additional support with your workbook, we offer a Care Certificate Workbook Support session on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 10am or 4pm. It usually lasts 1 hour. To book, please complete this form.
Graduation
Once we confirm you have passed the programme, you will get your Healthcare Certificate and new ID badge. This will be posted to your home address so please ensure this is correct on our systems. Please return your trainee badge to your local Trust Services team.
If you have more questions, we offer a Trainee Q and A session. At these sessions you can ask anything, but we may not be able to discuss your specific situation. These Q and A sessions usually run on the first Tuesday of every month at 1 pm and 4:30 pm. You can sign up here.
