Skills & ethos of care providers → Training & support

Here is a list of activities other HAH services have used to optimise their training and support for staff.

  • Investment in training of staff at all levels, including communication skills, so that they can create an environment in which patients and carers feel they are in expert hands
  • Offering accredited training that is transferable across providers
  • Train(ing) staff in culturally competent/appropriate care for the population they serve
  • Providing HAH staff with support to manage the stress of their work and to develop the necessary emotional resilience
  • HAH staff can call for advice and support with their work from expert colleagues who are part of the HAH (or wider) organisation.
