Freedom of Information Request: 0667 2019/20
I would like to request, under the Freedom of Information Act, information around the training that you provide in terms of core essential training (training which every member of staff would require eg Fire Safety) and also Role Specific Training (the training that is deemed to be essential for particular roles e.g resuscitation).
- Please provide a ‘training matrix’ to identify;
- the training required for each staff group, including sub groups where there are differing requirements for staff in the same group (e.g Emergency departments/Paediatrics)
- the frequency of the training
- how the course is delivered e.g. Face-to-Face/elearning
- your KPI target for the training e.g. 95%, 100%

- Do you align with the UK Core Skills Framework?
The subjects above are aligned with the core skills training framework. UHB are aligned with Equality & Diversity (please note our course is referred to as Inclusion & Diversity). Paediatric and Neonatal teams run their own sessions for Resuscitation but follow the same guidelines.
We are also aligned for Prevent awareness. Please find the Training Needs Analysis and Core Skills training Framework attached. Role Specific TNA CSTF England Subject Guide v1.0 Jan 20
- Do you categorise anything over and above UK Core Skills Framework as MUST DO essential training?
The Trust also requires all staff to complete Corporate Induction and a Local induction.
- If you use elearning do you have specific time out for staff to do this? If so, how long has this been in place for?
As set out in our policies and procedures all staff are allowed time to do both Mandatory and Role Specific training. All E-Learning modules are standardised with their Face to Face sessions both in content and timing.
- If you use elearning do you have allocated equipment for staff to do this? If so, how long has this been in place for?
As a Trust all main sites have Libraries with PCs which any member of staff can access and also has an IT suite with IT equipment for staff to use, there are also Educational PC’s available on certain sites. The system we use also allows for non-desktop usage such as tablets and Mobile Phones. The new UHB Moodle e-learning site which went live in January 2020 is a web based which staff can access allowing log in from outside of the Trust. Previously for staff at Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull Hospitals the Moodle site was also web based and the Moodle site for staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham could only be accessed on site.
