Quality training is at the heart of our service

At Nurseline, we ensure that our nurses and support workers meet the highest qualification criteria for current practices, and are committed to their ongoing training and development.

As part of this commitment, we operate a formal induction and training programme as well as specialist training relevant to their field. Our continuous improvement programme requires managers and employees to review and refresh their skills on a regular basis.

In addition to mandatory training, which includes Basic Life Support, Moving & Handling and Safeguarding, our staff also have access to the following in-house training:

  • Personality Disorders
  • Dementia Awareness
  • Autism Awareness
  • Learning Disabilities Awareness
  • Epilepsy & Buccal Midazolam

  • Person Centred Care
  • Health & Safety at Work CIEH Level 2
  • PMVA (Prevention & Management of Violence & Aggression)
  • PROACT-SCIPr (Strategies for Crisis Intervention and Prevention)
  • Immediate Life Support

We ensure our clients will receive only the finest, fully trained and qualified team of registered nurses and support workers to deliver exemplary patient care. All our employees have a minimum of six months’ experience, along with two professional references, and go through a rigorous assessment and selection process. We verify all claims of experience in specialist fields.

We are also happy to integrate any site-specific training that you may require for our workforce.
