SamsonCore skills for all healthcare settings
Skills every care setting needs: safety, first aid, communication and leadership. These courses suit any healthcare team.
What core training does a healthcare team need?
- Employers in Ireland must make sure staff have the information, instruction, training and supervision they need to work safely (HSA).
- A risk assessment should decide how many first aiders a workplace needs (HSA first aid questions and answers).
- The Children First Act 2015 places a legal obligation on certain people to report child protection concerns to Tusla (Tusla).
- Healthcare risk waste has its own HSA guidance.
Start with these
- First aid: First Aid Response (FAR) or Basic First Aid
- Healthcare risk waste: Clinical Waste Management
