Thankyou for your responses Tony and Helen.
(Junior docs we get timetabled into their induction schedule by medical education - DNA rate has been lowered by me having the docs email and sending multi-reminders about their booked sessions/emails to say they DNA and offering alternative sessions and rearranging when they are oncall etc)
Main Trust induction - Have started work on proposing a system of e-learning and face to face...
So e-learning will cover theory aspects.. and then a shorter face to face where by staff will come in for just the practical side of the device training, but still hopefully to cover all the devices we currently cover.
Due to limited time this will have to be an open room affair where staff come to each "stand" - do the practical part, have it signed off, then move to the next - leaving the room with all their practical competencies complete and a barcode to match.
Once we can match up that they have done practical and elearning - we will "turn on" the barcode.
For none barcode access devices will need to find a way of informing the local managers that someone is trained/not trained etc.
Does anyone do anything similar?
I would be very interested in a chat with anyone that does.. my team are frankly bewildered by concept but one has a vision and thinks we could pull it off.
(rapidly writing elearning for devices.. hoping the new Trust approves and gives me more than 30min face time).
Thanks

We co-ordinate clinical education days for new starters and any refreshers with different departments. Up until recently a CD Rom was given out at induction including all relevant training information for POCT devices. Training for equipment requiring a barcode for access is given face to face, backed up by eLearning. Much of our training is ad hoc in small groups if possible and all training is recorded on the trust database with is linked to ESR. Therefore we know who works where, what role they undertake and whether this would require POCT exposure. Training and Competency for POCT devices sits on the risk register and updated each year with the current status in the trust. We have not had to enter into protracted discussions over this.

We do glucose meter training at induction for all nursing (including HCA grades). This is weekly and is carried out by our clinical education staff and supported by Roche Diagostics. We do blood gas training for Doctors in August. All other training for these systems is adhoc. They contact us when they need training. Drs are not trained on any other POCT devices other than blood gas analysers (although we are looking at DDimer testing in ED). We have had to fight our corner for the Dr training in August. We justified it by saying access to the systems is only for trained staff. If we did not capture the Drs at the beginning experience showed that they would share barcodes to access the analyser and we had more down time of the analysers due to clots etc. Trying to free the Drs up for training once they are assigned to clinical duties is difficult and finding an appropriate area and analyser to use for large numbers is nigh on impossible. We won the argument.
Other training is adhoc at the moment but we are looking at coming up with a regime for training.

Dear all,
Been sometime since I have been asked to argue this, we have been very lucky at BCFH to have POCT on Trust induction with enough time to cover glucose, gas, pregnancy and urine dipstick for all the relevant nursing and midwifery staff for a few years.
Our Trust is being acquired and we now have to fight for our place on induction in the new organisation.
Does anyone have any prepared evidence to support POCT being on Trust induction?
Anyone had the debate recently and found some particular evidence more compelling than another? Or rather it was found more compelling to senior clinical staff/training departments/clin gov/ risk etc?
Appreciate any support.
Thanks
Katy
