Induction programme

The Trust expects the new starter to take responsibility for ensuring that the local induction (and checklist) is completed (in partnership with their line manager) during their first month of work, or as soon as possible i.e. on the first day/shift if a short-term temporary placement. Here is a brief guide to completing the checklist:

• Print a blank Local Induction Checklist from the Learning Hub (log into your account and type 'Local induction - self-declaration' into the search box on the home page)

• For Agency and Bank staff use the Temporary Staff Local Induction Checklist

• Go through the checklist with the line manager (or nominated deputy)

• Once both the new starter and the manager agree that all elements on the checklist have been adequately covered, both the new starter and manager should sign off and date each item on the checklist

• A paper copy of the completed local induction checklist should be filed in the new starter's personal folder in the department

• Finally, THE NEW STARTER should log into their Learning Hub account, type 'Local induction - self-declaration of completion' into the search box on the home page, and complete the Self-Declaration questions in order to register completion of their local induction checklist and for their compliance to be recorded

There is NO requirement to return a copy of the checklist to Education and Development Department

PLEASE NOTE:  The new starter's compliance will not be updated on the Learning Hub until the self-declaration has been successfully completed.  

If you have evidence of prior learning, please be aware that East Lancashire Hospitals Trust has aligned to the Core Skills Training Framework and can therefore only accept training provided by other Core Skills aligned organisations.

It would be helpful if possible if you could forward any previous learning/training prior to your attendance on day 1 to coreskillsteam@elht.nhs.uk. 

Core Skills Training is a group of courses which all staff must complete.  Your Required Learning Profile on Learning Hub will inform you of the Core Skills courses which you must complete - at what level – by which delivery method and the due date for completion.

The majority of Core Skills training can be accessed online via Learning Hub, by completing an eLearning package and successfully passing a knowledge assessment for each subject. Some subjects can be completed by attending a classroom/practical session.
