Access Homehealth has its own training subsidiary, Amida Training Limited.
In keeping with best practice performance management and the Nurses’ Organisation’s registration maintenance requirements for nurses, Access Homehealth has developed a significant industry training capability.
We have developed a unique training system for support workers, nursing coordinators and regional managers, working closely with organisations such as the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. We have appointed a national training committee and have training coordinators in each of our regions. Access Homehealth is represented on the industry Workforce Education Development Committee by our chief executive, who is also president of the New Zealand Home Health Association.
Our in-house training programme revolves around a compulsory six-week induction programme for all staff. Our coordinators, who must have a recognised health qualification, can join our subsidised professional development programme, enabling them to diversify into a wide range of specialised services.
Our training is available to case managers from referring agencies such as District Health Boards, ACC and GPs. We can also tailor our training to referring agents working towards joint outreach contracts with us.
