CASE STUDY - DARTFORD AND GRAVESHAM NHS TRUST

Dartford & Gravesham approached us asking us to provide practical training aimed at Band 5 and 6 ward nurses who lacked the confidence to undertake assessments on patients. A large proportion of staff come from abroad, meaning they are not conversant with the MCA (2005). This all put pressure on support staff and impacted on discharge management.

​

Our mental capacity training videos provide the ideal solution for their staff as they are able to access the training from their own e-learning platform, at a time most suitable to them, and with unlimited access they were able to open the training to a wide group of staff.
