To assist us to provide a higher standard of nurse to our clients, the Professional Nursing Agency has developed a Risk Management Policy and as a part of this strategy has major commitment to the training and development of its staff.

Additional training can be arranged through contact with our Training Manager, Roxanne Coghlan during Office Hours on 02 6281 1644. 

The Training Manager is a highly skilled Registered Nurse with current clinical experience who can assist or coordinate a variety of training with some of the major Hospitals or Nursing Homes as may be required, in fields such as:

• Epidural Workshops

All staff undertake a Workplace Assessment by members of our Training Team to provide the agency with a broad outline of our staff’s strengths and weaknesses.  This is then used to develop various training packages to enhance the Personal Development of the various staff and better meet the client’s needs on a more professional level.  The Workplace Assessments are conducted initially (within the first 4 weeks of commencement) and then ever 6 – 12 months.
