The Records Team is in the process of delivering a new Records Awareness Training Package. This is to ensure that as a Trust we are all working in the same way to protect our patients, staff, and the Trust.

Inpatient staff feedback has led to the development of a new Supportive eObservation app integrated with Rio, allowing staff to record and view inpatient supportive observations on a mobile device at the patient’s side, providing alerts when observations are due and overdue. All staff who are required to complete Supportive Observations must ensure they can logon onto a Trust computer before the go live dates stated.

New dates are available in the Learning and Development Prospectus for September for Autism and Mental Health Training.
