Local Healthcare Providers Upskill at SERC

Recruitment and Retention was order of the day when local Healthcare employers gathered at SERC to take part in a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session.

Healthcare Training #BetterOffAtSERC was held at the College’s SPACE recently and offered an exciting opportunity for SERC to share their expertise on Recruitment and Retention in a challenging healthcare market as well as highlighting the bespoke training SERC can provide for managers, nurses, care assistants and other support staff working in the sector.

The Directors and Managers of the various care providers have recognised SERC as a partner in upskilling their staff in order to improve the quality of service they provide and to boost staff morale.
