Questions about healthcare staff safety training
Which healthcare teams can participate?
The training can be shaped for healthcare, home-care and human-service staff, including people working in facilities, client homes and community settings.
Can the training address home visits and lone workers?
Yes. Those situations can be included in the agreed scope, with attention to preparation, awareness, communication, assistance and reporting.
Does the training replace our clinical or emergency procedures?
No. The session should connect with your organization’s existing responsibilities and procedures. Staff should follow their employer’s clinical, emergency and incident-reporting requirements.
How do we choose between a briefing and a training series?
Describe the team’s roles, priority situations, approximate size and available training time. We will discuss whether a focused briefing or broader program best fits those needs.
Choose a briefing or a broader training program
