In-service Training Options from Vygon UK

Our training for healthcare professionals can be delivered in a number of ways, to best suit the needs of your team and departmental requirements. We understand that training in a busy department often doesn’t take a one-size-fits all approach.

We can flex the topics and style of training to suit your requirements. This can take the form of a dedicated training and workshop session, individual ward-based drop-in sessions, or part of a Trust organised study day.

Whether your department needs a refresher session, or in-depth theory and gaining practical hand-on experience, we are on hand to support you with your clinical training requirements.
