SamsonHospital and clinical services
Practical training for private hospitals, clinics, contractors and agencies, and for teams who train their own staff.
What training does a hospital team need?
- Hospital staff follow national clinical guidance, for example the Irish National Early Warning System and the HSE's sepsis guideline.
- Courses that teach clinical skills name a clinically qualified trainer and a reviewer.
- The HSE says manual handling training must be relevant to the person's role, work and environment. Samson's instructor courses let a hospital train its own staff.
- Health service providers must report certain serious events to HIQA under the Patient Safety (Notifiable Incidents and Open Disclosure) Act 2023.
Start with these
- Early warning: Recognising Patient Deterioration
- Sepsis: Sepsis Awareness & Recognition
- Manual handling: Manual Handling, Manual Handling Instructor or Patient Handling Instructor
- Serious events reported to HIQA: Patient Safety & Incident Reporting
