Oliver McGowen Training - Pilot - Gloucestershire Primary Care Workforce Centre

The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that regulated service providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.   

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the government’s preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.

In Gloucestershire, work has been ongoing to train facilitators, and deliver Tier 1 and Tier 2 training to health & care staff working in the One Gloucestershire ICS.

We know that there is more demand than there are places at the moment, and colleagues are working hard to refine our delivery model so that we can easily share out the places, book people onto training, and record attendance and compliance data. The aim to increase our capacity to deliver training in the future.

To support this aim, One Gloucestershire ICS are piloting a Learning Management System (LMS) for Primary Care staff to help make these processes more manageable for all. We are going to start with a small number of practices, who in exchange for participating in the pilot, will have access to training places in addition to those available via the existing county offer, which is currently booked through Proud to Learn.

If you would like your practice to be considered for participation in this pilot scheme please complete and submit the below form, before 6th September 2024. Please note the form may close early if sufficient pilot sites are identified.

Successful practices will be notified in due course.

Please note that only practices who have not submitted individuals via the current process have been invited to participate in this pilot as staff will be required to undertake all parts of the training via the LMS
