Mandatory Practical Training via Grosvenor Nursing Agency.

We have certain requirements in place for all staff to ensure they are cleared for work and ready to be placed on assignments. These requirements include completing annual practical training courses, which are necessary to comply with our clients' standards:

Life Support Training: An essential for mental health staff life support training is mandatory for all qualified mental health staff. In the UK, this training encompasses a range of techniques and skills designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and abilities to effectively respond in emergency situations. The training covers crucial components such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and other life-saving equipment. Its main goal is to ensure that individuals are well-prepared to act promptly and appropriately during emergencies, thereby increasing the likelihood of saving lives.

Immediate Life Support (ILS) training is required for all qualified mental health staff. All clinically trained staff (doctors, registered nurses, and midwives), who deliver or are involved in rapid tranquilisation, physical restraint and seclusion are to be trained in ILS. You can complete either or both neonatal life support and adult life support courses.

Moving and Handling: Ensuring safety in care moving and handling training focuses on techniques and practices to ensure the safe movement, handling, and care of individuals in different settings. This training is particularly important in the healthcare sector, where the risk of injury resulting from improper manual handling techniques is a concern.
