Education & Learning

The Education and Learning Department offers a centralised approach to multi-disciplinary education across the Hospital and co-ordinating developments in clinical practice in relation to the modernisation agenda.

The Department is responsible for identifying training and development needs, planning provision of appropriate courses and purchasing education from other providers as required.

The multi-professional approach means that a range of programmes are available to meet the needs of all support staff, nurses, allied health care professionals and medical staff. This includes health care staff in training and those who are registered.

A team leadership and management programme has started for non-medical team leaders and an increasing number of courses are being brought on site to enable them to be delivered at the time and place that is most suitable for Papworth staff.

The Education and Learning team work collaboratively with the East of England Multi-professional Deanery to identify and effectively commission for the delivery of education and learning to meet the needs of all staff. Such partnership working ensures that standards are set, maintained and monitored facilitating a good learning experience for the learner regardless of discipline.

Mentors and supervisors receive training on a regular basis, and equipment and educational resources across the Hospital are maintained at an appropriately high standard.

The Hospital is an Investor in People organisation.
