Heartbeat: Unity end user training – have you done yours?

January 8, 2019

New dates have been released for the Unity end user training, and managers are asked to ensure their teams are trained by Thursday 31 January.

Nearly 5,000 of us will use Unity when it’s launched – it is therefore essential that we are ready by getting the appropriate training.

Heartbeat caught up with Chief Nurse, Paula Gardner who is the executive lead for Unity training. She said: “Just over 2,000 colleagues are still to be trained; the new schedule of dates released during the first week in December will enable colleagues to book their training slots in readiness for this significant change in the way we work.

“If you have been identified as person who requires training, it will not be possible to do your work without Unity. This training is an essential part of the role, I cannot stress enough how important it is for colleagues to take part.

“Once you have taken part in the training, you are given access to the Unity Play System. This will be essential in helping to keep fresh your new skills and will allow you to practice in a safe environment.”
