To achieve this, we facilitate our staff to access an extensive training and education programme, as well as a range of personal and professional development opportunities including the PgDip Specialist Community Nursing course. For our newly qualified staff, we have set up a forum to facilitate a monthly meeting of peer reflection and training, designed to support those wanting to join the community soon after completion of their nurse training, as well as a trust-wide preceptorship programme to develop your CPD portfolio and skills.
