East Sussex Hospitals – Staff Training
This training is for all hospital staff who may have contact with patients who have a family or friend involved in their care or are carers themselves. It is particularly relevant for staff involved with discharge planning.
The training covers:
- The role of carers, the challenges and the impacts.
- The importance and benefits of identifying and supporting adult as well as young carers in the hospital.
- Carers rights and the duty of the NHS.
- Support available to carers.
- Making a referral.
This training aims to give you some knowledge and tools to involve carers, so that the patients get the best health outcomes and the experience of carers and patients during the hospital journey and the discharge process is a positive one.
It takes about 45 to 60 minutes to complete the training.
A downloadable certificate of completion is available to all. Champions can download a Champions Certificate and receive a badge from us.
