Transferability of skills:
Previously completed person-specific training may be transferable where:
the staff member has completed their annual refresher training
the NHS team is consulted before the staff member is transferred to a different contract, or before a new operator takes over a contract following a re-tender.
For example: John Smith has been trained to administer Buccal Midazolam for pupil A. If pupil A leaves the contract and pupil B has a similar treatment plan, the fieldwork team can contact the NHS team to confirm whether John's existing training is appropriate for pupil B's needs.
If there are significant differences between the pupils' treatment plans, the NHS team will arrange additional or refresher training as required and a new TSG referral form will be completed by the operator.
Process:
- complete the pupil-specific referral form
- submit the referral to TransportNHS@lincolnshire.gov.uk
- the NHS team will contact the operator to arrange the training date, time, venue, and any other logistical requirements
