The mission of Kiltipper Woods Education & Training Centre is to provide high quality continuing education and professional development programmes for our staff as well as those working in similar healthcare settings.
The core objective of our education and training programme is to equip staff and students with necessary skills and competencies that will assist them in offering the best evidence-based practice and care to their residents/patients.
We will achieve this by offering relevant training, education and development solutions in clinical and non-clinical areas.
The Centre develops and delivers flexible, educational and certified training courses/programmes that offer innovative learning experiences which are underpinned by principles of person-centred care, self -directed support and evidence-based theory. Courses provided incorporate not just academic content but also effective learning, personal development and interpersonal skills. This is both for the benefit of course participants themselves, and ultimately for the benefit of residents/patients and other service users. We continuously strive for enhancement in the education and services we provide by working in partnership with stakeholders which contributes to the provision of effective, inclusive, high-quality, evidence-based care. We provide education courses, and workshops throughout the year. For more information on KWCC Education & Training Programmes please use link provided.
