L&D Education days

short overhead resus b&w zoom

What are they?

Education days are your educational update days for all staff with patient contact, both registered and non-registered. Because of the variety of skill mixes, roles, and scopes of practice they are split into several different formats.

They will cover a variety of topics, and you may see the same subject on more than one type of education day, but the content being taught will be different.*

*The content will change every year, and sometimes your days will overlap years due to when you can be allocated  – i.e. you may have a 2022/23 education day, followed by a 2023/24 education day a month later.

Core skills days

These days are for ECAs and Lead Clinicians

Clinical Education days

These are for Lead Clinicians only

EOC education days

These are for EOC staff

Periodic Education days

These cover subjects that need refreshing every few years.
