INTRODUCTION

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is committed to ensuring a safe environment for staff and patients so that the highest possible standard of care can be delivered; education remains a key priority within the development and delivery of health services.

Education and learning is a vital component in enabling staff at all levels and working in all disciplines to fulfil their potential and deliver compassionate, skilled and effective care to our patients, ensuring any concerns raised by service users are addressed within the training we offer.

We aim to take an integrated approach to :-

• Ensure the future supply of the workforce to meet organisational needs.

• Ensure the current workforce are safe and meeting their statutory and mandatory training requirements.

• Support staff to embrace new technology and flexible ways of learning, prioritising patient safety and learning from incidents.

We want our staff to feel they have opportunities to develop their career, improve their knowledge & skills with access to the right learning opportunities when they need to, being supported to develop their potential.
