2 Day Mental Health Induction Reviews

I was the only one on the course who was not working in mental health so found it a bit challenging at times to contribute in metal health specific scenarios.

Interesting & informative

The trainer was excellent, really informative and engaging. Very good communication skills and good at teaching. I am disappointed that we do not get paid for the training, do not get parking refunded or even drinks. With the cost of living crisis, people have had to cancel shifts to do this training losing money, pay for parking which is expensive, food and drinks. I found the training useful and beneficial. As a mental health nursing student I found it effective but the support workers agree that it is quite complex for their band. It would have been helpful if first aid was included and safeguarding. It would have been better if there was also more manual handling. I would appreciate it if it was a one day training course even longer hours to save paying for parking and lunches twice and losing 2 shifts.

Please include training for Babies, first aid, cpr, safeguarding, safer sleeping etc

This refresher for Support Workers could easily be done in 1 day a lot of the course work was aimed at Nurses and not relevant to me

Course trainer Marryann was so brilliant 👏. Explained everything in detail. We had very up-to-date practical training as well, which was entertaining. She has a marvellous sense of humour and really made a big difference. However, there were many course details which were not relevant to us. I wish it would be revised and made professionally focused.

The training was managed well with all participants being given the opportunity to participate in a friendly and professional manner.

Firstly, the course is not entirely relevant in my line of work and the number of days to deliver the course feels unnecessary too long. The course could have been completed in a day saving me unnecessary expenses and inconveniences, causing me to cancelled two shifts. Overall, the trainer (MaryAnn) did a fab job delivering the course in a friendly and interactive way to carry everyone along.

traineer very clear and fun putting the points across well. 2 days not needed for the course . Staff need to be paid to attend the course with expenses as well :(

Could have done one day as lots of the course not relevant to health care support workers more for trained nurs s
