NHSU regional conference

The NHSU is a new organisation providing learning development opportunities for everyone working in health and social care. It held an East of England Regional Conference in May.

More than 170 delegates from Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex gathered to sample a wide range of new online interactive learning tools presented by several companies. NHSU’s taster services included its First Contact and Customer Care programmes along with the induction product, Working for the NHS. Telephone lines were connected to U-i, the university’s telephone advice line (08000 150 850) that gives confidential, impartial advice on learning to all health and social care staff.

The event highlighted the company’s commitment to the promotion of workplace learning and the development of new technologies, enabling staff to achieve their learning goals in spite of time pressure and shift working.
