This can be a nursing, medical or allied health professional.

The final sign off needs to be with your matron/line manager or nominated deputy.

There is no set requirement for update or refresher training. You are welcome to repeat the e-learning at any point and can re-attend the classroom training if you feel this is needed. It would be advisable to discuss this with your line manager first.

Once all elements have been completed you can create a certificate from Greenbrain.

This will only happen once all three elements of training have been completed. Please check your e-learning-have you done both modules?

Have you submitted your competency document? Has this been approved?

HHFT will require you to complete the clinical competencies, but you might not need to re-do training if you can provide your certificates achieved during your training in the University. You are welcome to repeat the training at HHFT if you feel this would be appropriate.

Please discuss this with your line manager.
