Section 6 employee handbook support services are delivered in the Health Service. The Hospital, in support of SKILL and as part of this programme, offers staff and supervisors in support services the opportunity to return to education and develop their skills whilst obtaining an accredited certificate from the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC levels 3, 5 and 6). Further information can be found on the Hospital Intranet, www.skillvec.ie or from the Learning and Development Division of the HR Department. Induction: For all Employees, your career here in the Hospital starts with an Induction Programme, whether it is a 3 day Corporate Induction Programme or a 3 week Nurse Induction Programme. The aim of the Induction Programme is to give an overview and introduction to the Organisation, complete mandatory training programmes and equip staff with the necessary information that will allow them to settle down quickly and happily. Following Induction we want to ensure that all individuals get the best possible start here in the Hospital and we aim to achieve this through the following: In-house Training Programmes A wide range of in-house courses are available to all Employees which are designed to develop a number of technical and personal skills, such as: • Negotiation and influencing skills. • Communication skills. • Personal development. • Performance management. • Computer literacy. 46 back to contents

Personal Development Planning “A Personal Development Plan sets out the actions people propose to take to learn and to develop themselves. They take responsibility for formulating and implementing the plan …” PDP is a continuous developmental process that allows Employees, through communication with their Manager, to identify their development needs, to review and evaluate their current position and to set objectives and put in place a development plan. The Personal Development Plan can be used for job related development, career development, personal development or for all three (holistic development). 47 back to contents
