Competency Assessor Training

Competency assessors training is aimed at clinical staff who will be carrying out competency assessments on staff undertaking patient handling activities within their workplace. This one day training session will take staff through the process, assessment criteriaand record keeping required for undertaking competency assessments and in addition, will provide a skills update for those attending and practical experience undertaking assessments.

Each clinical ward / department / service undertaking higher risk patient handling activities should identify a minimum of 2 competency assessors, of which 1 should be a minimum of a Band 5. Some areas will already have competency assessors in place. These dates are for assessors identified from July 2017, future dates will be provided for assessors in place prior to July 2017 requiring an update.

Prior to attending this session, delegates should read over the competency assessor information pack(here) and should bring with them a completed self-assessment form (here).

Records

Attendance will be recorded on Empower by the M&H Team. In addition, each Local Manager has a duty to keep a record of who has attended training. To assist with this, if a delegate does not attend, the nominating person will be contacted that day to inform them of the non-attendance. For reporting purposes we will request a reason for non-attendance if known.
