GovernWell in-house training

As well as our open courses, our modules can be delivered as in-house training which can be tailored to trust needs and delivered exclusively for your council.

In-house training ensures consistent learning of good practice across the whole council and provides a more open environment to discuss your most pressing issues.

Since 2013 we have trained over 140 organisations, and in the past year 99% of delegates would recommend our in-house training to other governors.

Why choose in-house training?

• Course material can be designed to be highly relevant for your requirements
• Ensures the whole council is trained to the same standard to meet the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act
• Gives the opportunity for your governors to meet and network outside formal council meetings
• Allows for independent perspective from high quality trainers on your most pressing issues
• The training can be held locally to the trust or virtually, reducing travel time and costs

We have now had two bespoke training sessions delivered by NHS Providers, both perfectly tailored to the needs of our Governors. The sessions were very much appreciated and helped Governors better understand their roles and how they can work together as a Council. Professionally delivered and with great engagement throughout – highly recommended! We will definitely be planning a third in the not too distant future.

NHS Provider colleagues delivered informative and thought-provoking training for our Council of Governors. Our governors really enjoyed the day and from my perspective, it gave them a good grounding in their duties and understanding of the NHS.
