Our people will continuously be at the forefront of the academy and play a key role in driving and leading its success. The vision for our people is for the academy to be a central training hub for all internal learning and development activity, resulting in a highly skilled, competent workforce and creating a positive training culture for all. To achieve this, the academy provides opportunities and support for staff to reach their full potential and overcome any barriers to training.
gtd academy takes a flexible and modern approach to learning by offering a range of programmes and innovative ways of delivery. As we know, all individuals are different and one style of learning does not appeal to all. Our faculty of trainers use their excellent skills, knowledge and expertise to deliver high-quality training and education to gtd healthcare colleagues, partnership organisations and other external users. To meet individual and business goals, we source external training on or off-site in response to changes to services or national/local protocols.
