SWITCH has been designed to meet the ongoing needs of employers and to bridge the skills gaps within training. We aim to be flexible in meeting the demands of employers across the area and we draw on our expertise to create bespoke training on topics you need. If you have a training need that is currently unmet, contact us today via SWITCH@newcollege.ac.uk
We can also provide bespoke training services to you. We can come to your setting with our equipment and run scenarios to assess and develop best practice. For example, one of our trainers can arrange with a manager to utilise a spare room or shared space for us to set up a scenario with AV recording equipment and an advanced manikin. In doing so, we can simulate scenarios such as seizure, heart attack, resuscitation, anaphylaxis or stroke. We can then press the emergency bell and see what the staff do in real time. In addition, we can use the recording to debrief the staff and analyse their responses in a constructive way to improve the quality of care.
Our 'family' of manikins include a baby, children and adults which enable us to use the appropriate age or group of patients to meet your needs. For example, we can have a parent in the bed and an upset child next to them to see how the soft skills such as compassion and empathy are used to support the care provided.
We are confident that our clinical skills courses can be adapted to meet the needs of your specific policies and procedures in consideration of the scope of practice of your service and staff.
This tour is for Business/Employers in the Health and Social Care setting's to visit our site to see how SWITCH can support you with training and developing your staff.
