Training Policy - October 2005
The Practice recognises the need to ensure that staff receive continuing training appropriate to their job status, particularly with regard to new techniques and technology, and accordingly encourages attendance at meetings, seminars, courses etc. held by appropriate professional educational and commercial organisations.
Responsibility for staff training, including maintenance and evaluation of training records, is managed by the designated Training Partner. He in turn may delegate certain functions to the resident partner in individual offices.
Professional and Technical staff
Corporate members of professional institutions are required to carry out CPD training to meet at least the requirements of their institution and maintain a personal record in the required format.
Other technical members of staff shall maintain records in a logical and consistent format identifying training received. All such records are to be updated by staff at least annually, and copies retained for reference at annual training appraisals.
Corporate staff are to provide copies of their CPD records annually to the Training Partner to ensure that their required training has been maintained and that the practice has documented evidence of sufficient detail to satisfy its Professional Indemnity insurers.
Non-professional/technical staff
Encouragement and assistance will be given to non-professional/technical staff to training in new techniques, systems and technology where these are beneficial to the carrying out of their duties and enhance the Practice's quality profile.
Records are to be kept of any training undertaken and updated annually. Copies shall be retained by staff for reference at annual training appraisals.
