Hi
We treat all staff the same.
Must have a trust ID badge, and must attend a standard training session.
Competency expires after 12 months.
Recertification is permitted through standard channels (sign off by link trainer or attendance at POCT organised training session)

HI
We recognised the need to allow Agency Staff access to POCT equipment. Access is allowed if the agency staff hit the following criteria:
‘Regular’ is defined as 4 shifts per month over a three month period.
The barcode expiry will be shortened to 3 months.

Dear all,
Following discussions here in Bath I'd be interested to find out how others managed POCT access for agency staff (these staff members do random shifts, rather than a block when we would be able to do routine training).
Given the high pressure environment on the wards, I suspect the current way of dealing with this is to share barcodes - which gives no audit trail and is against trust policy.
Has anyone come up with a solution to help our clinical colleagues with this? And is any of this acceptable to UKAS?
Any help or ideas are very much welcome!
Thanks
Fran
