Transitional Training

During your first 8 weeks we will set aside one day per week to help and support you with your new life in Scotland.

We will cover things like:

• Pastoral Care
• Orientation within the Hospital
• Tour of the local area
• Guest speakers

Shadow Training

As part of your training you will be based on the ward area 2 days a week for up to 12 weeks depending on when you pass your OSCE. You will get to shadow our Healthcare Support Workers as well as Registered Nurses to understand:

• Our paperwork
• Our systems such as how to take patient notes
• Our equipment such as taking bloods and temperatures
• Get used to navigating a ward area, canteen and quiet spaces

Most importantly – get to know your new colleagues and build relationships.

Your first 4 weeks

We anticipate that your first week will be taken up with orientation to the local area and completion of our Corporate Induction process which included some mandatory training.  Following this next few weeks are likely to look something like this:
