Care Navigation Training
Using our tried and tested approach, our core requirement for our Care Navigation Training packages include, developing your DoS and using the DoS pathways in your bespoke training programme for your whole PCN or NHS place. Using our tried and tested approach we will ensure we have specific pathways to train your reception team to use following the training. This will form the basis of a PCN or place wide DoS incorporating anything you have locally collated. We will guide you through developing a DoS, based on our standardised approach. There will be a need to revisit this DoS from time to time provide a training support offer for one lead trainer at the PCN or can increase this based on number of PCNs required in each NHS place.

There are no specific requirements to study for these qualification but it would be an advantage for learners to have access to a relevant working environment or simulated working environment (Health Care, Social Care, and Voluntary Community Social Enterprise sector).

Our Mission
KERA thrives on providing individuals with safe spaces to learn, share knowledge and guidance.
Our mission is to bring people together to help transform health care and provide organisational boundaries. We will work to reduce conflicts and support power imbalances within organisations ‘give everyone a voice’. Many people become unheard within organisations, we continue to work with organisations to motivate and mobilise the workforce to participate, co-develop and have ownership. Our example of this is how Care Navigations success could only be a reality if you involve everyone on all levels, including and most importantly, receptionists. Receptionists were known to have very little say, if any, within the development of patient services however, we encouraged them to be a part of the design.
