The Organisational and Professional Development department offers a range of development programmes for all staff to provide the Best of Care through the Best of People.
Our MFT Induction programme is compulsory for all new employees and is an opportunity to meet with colleagues and learn more about the Trust, supported by a 2-5 day training programme for our clinical staff members.
To support staff to stay up-to-date with a range of mandatory topics, our learning management system sits within My ESR, allows access to training anywhere, anytime, via smart phone, tablet device, laptop or desktop, and because it’s self-service, you can book yourself onto classroom sessions, and even complete training on the move.
“Medway supports my creativity and ideas, so my passion for physiotherapy can shine through to our patients.”
