Clinical Governance and Risk Management Training
WISDOM provides a highly-regarded online training course in clinical governance and risk management, specifically tailored to the needs of NHS staff. The course covers fundamentals such as continuing professional development and evidence-based practice, and key issues in clinical governance including risk management, patient and public involvement, information governance, patient safety and audit.
We have held a contract to deliver this training to specialist registrars in Yorkshire and Humber NHS for the past six years, as part of their 'generic' training for a consultant post. More than 500 staff have taken the course during that period. In addition, we provide training to doctors, nurses and managers on an individual basis from across the UK. The individual fee is £250, making this programme exceptionally good value in comparison to equivalent courses.
Studying with WISDOM
‘This course has completely changed my understanding of clinical governance. It has certainly been a most thought-provoking journey for the last three months.' Dr F, SpR in geriatric medicine
The WISDOM training in clinical governance and risk management is delivered entirely online, making it the ideal way to combine education and clinical duties. The course has been divided into 10 easy-to-manage topics, which together provide a comprehensive training in all aspects of clinical governance and risk management. Course materials are accessed from a link from this site, meaning you can continue your studies even when away from your regular computer access.
Because you study the course at your own speed, you can take as long as you wish to complete the WISDOM training. However, most participants like to study one topic a week, spreading the training over a ten-week period. If you take the course as part of a group, we can include membership of an electronic forum, with weekly communication from the course tutor Dr Nick Fox, and opportunities to discuss with fellows online.
‘This was my first online course, and I found many advantages to doing it this way. Both the lecture material and the discussions I had with colleagues were very interesting on the different subjects tackled by the course.’ Dr J, SpR in ENT
At the end of the course, you can send in a short log book exercise, in order to receive the certificate of completion.
