Training & Personal Development at Ramsay Health Care

As a grad on the wards, I felt like I was just another worker. Not a lot of additional training was provided. PACU is a very supported environment, training is more one on one and specific. Every staff member in this environment is helpful with educating you.

I only received about 2 hours of training on the technical aspects with my second rotation however, there was always help available when needed.

A 15 min in service every few months pretty poor

Induction was way too short - 3 days! All the competencies and no paid time to get them done - grossly unfair In service during start of shift setting you back before you've even started.

Training has been ok Would love more time to do certain skills or tasks as its patients lives And sometimes you don't get alot of time on the ward to do things

I have taken part in a range of training in my first rotation (Ramsay UK) - for example 'becoming a trusted advisor', finance training, communications training... In my second rotation (Ramsay Australia) I have access to linkedin learning. I have also taken part in a range of training for responsible sourcing, e.g. how to use the CSR platforms.

The majority of my training was on the job training. I liked this style of learning but do think that outside help would also be beneficial in terms of staying within best practice.

Online mandatory training completed yearly. site specific training and mental health related education

No professional development in physio The compulsory training is fine

I wish there was more training for emergencies and sometimes more staff support

Fusion learning sessions every few months to learn a workplace skill such as resilience or how to deal with changes in the workplace (moving country, dealing with different managers etc)

Very little formal training. Have learnt everything from other staff

Not much formal training, mostly informal training on the job. Self directed learning/discussion with senior staff members as new experiences or situations arise.

My trainer has been amazing with my development. Guiding me, asking me how best to support me and taking 'easier' jobs on shift to enable me to focus on specific jobs to further my learning has been great. The New Grad Study Days are close to pointless. Unengaging and sometimes not relevant.

I believe new grads should be giving more training of codes and what to do

Started off with 2 weeks orientation in theatre. Proceeded to 4 weeks of super numeracy time. Struggled to learn skill in orthopaedics as short staffed constantly and no opportunity to back scrub with joints and more complex cases.

Informal training is mostly offered during lunch breaks or handover time when you can't leave the ward. Formally I have been able to advance my knowledge by completing postgraduate education. I have become a really good critical thinker, developed confidence in my clinical decisions and developed autonomy where I complete Incharge shifts overseeing the care of 24 patients.

Pretty consistent training across a wide range of topics, mainly focused on leadership.

SDLP, inservices etc all great

It would have been great to have a tutorial on how to use the learning program. That said once I figured it out it is very user friendly
