Attend (and facilitate where necessary) training to provide professional service to meet company demands and to maintain nursing registration, including conferences, tutorials, study and induction days.
3. Ensure that service provision meets all policies, procedures and governance requirements. Demonstrate an awareness of the CQC registration process and maintain own practice in accordance with regulation and training given.
