LONDON, March 10, 2020 /CNW/ - In light of the ongoing
global COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, Newcross Healthcare, one of
the UK's leading providers of healthcare staff and support, will
deliver vital knowledge and training to its staff using Docebo, a
leading AI-Powered Learning Platform. With over 8,500 staff across
the UK, Newcross will be equipping its staff with knowledge and
practical guidance on coronavirus, enabling staff to keep safe as
they continue to support clients and service users.
Given the fast-paced nature of the coronavirus outbreak,
Newcross needed to provide clinical training to all of its staff
quickly and effectively. Collaborating with Docebo has allowed the
company to expand the roll-out of virus protection and control
training. This will ensure that every member of its staff can
access the training. As an employer in a highly regulated and
safety-critical sector, this has enabled Newcross to communicate
updates to its partners, Care Commissioning Groups, regulatory
bodies, care homes, residential homes and supported living
environments.
Mark Story, Head of Learning
Innovation at Newcross Healthcare said: "Our staff play a critical
role in the UK's health and social care system and may be called
upon to treat patients with coronavirus. We have a responsibility
to our staff to ensure that we provide the up-to-date training and
support they need to keep safe and provide an excellent standard of
care to service users. Using digital learning tools like Docebo has
given us the ability to deliver training to those who need it most,
quickly, in a flexible way and with full traceability."
Technology is helping companies react faster to industry changes
or matters involving global health. Within days, Docebo has
supported Newcross to roll-out a global training programme,
enabling its staff to undertake the course. If this same training
were to take place in-person, it would have involved 900
face-to-face events and over 9 weeks to reach everyone. By
comparison, the UK's first coronavirus case was reported on 31
January, under six weeks ago.
Online learning enables companies to distil messages and
information and aggregate them into one source. This
is especially important in healthcare, as compliance is
required to guarantee that the right staff are deployed to the
right environments. An online-first approach to enterprise learning
enables this to be effectively monitored and reported on.
"The ongoing Coronavirus global health emergency has impacted
the global economy and population in ways we haven't seen before.
Through the lens of business and enterprise learning, it has also
made us all rethink how we work, learn and move," said Docebo CEO
Claudio Erba. "In this instance,
Newcross has been able to respond quickly and is now ready to
provide learning content to its staff in response to changes in
advice and regulatory requirements. Technology is the catalyst for
so much good change, and the Docebo Learning Platform has enabled
Newcross to apply new thinking and knowledge quickly."
As the Covid-19 situation evolves, Docebo will continue to
support Newcross and other organizations needing support in
addressing this global challenge.
