HC Skills International takes clinical education to another level. Having HCS on board with any project brings tremendous reassurance and inspires confidence. Diane’s leadership of HC Skills has been inspirational – the company offers products to fit every aspect of medical education.

HCS has transformed the medical education landscape. If you want it done well, get HCS involved from the start. In the current climate only excellence will do and and HCS achieve this with ease. All their externally validated courses are industry accredited and delivered to the highest standards.

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and HCS have collaborated on several Clinical Education courses over the last few years. Our delegates are extremely positive about each course and enjoy the practical elements of the teaching. We look forward to collaborating further in the future on this, and potentially other courses.

We have adopted the Professional Theatre Access Award as the standard of training for all employees who routinely work in hospital clinical areas. The provision of this course minimises the risk to our company of litigation and identifies for our employees company liability, vicarious liability and the requirement for compliance and professionalism.

HCS’s professional training qualification is a long overdue move towards establishing a standard that will meet the interests of all those involved in healthcare delivery, thus further protecting that group which we all strive to serve – patients.

We recognise the importance of professional qualifications in almost every area of industry, and medical device sales and support is no exception. New employees enter the medical device business with a wide variety of previous hospital experience, so it is critical for ethical companies to ensure that all who will be working in the patient environment are trained to the same high level of competence. It is equally important for hospital staff to be able to recognise that company personnel visiting the clinical areas have sufficient understanding of working practices to ensure that patient outcomes and staff procedures are not adversely affected by their presence. The course meets both these requirements, with the personal ID badge awarded upon successful completion giving hospital staff instant recognition of the holder’s professionalism in this respect.
