Comprehensive Training at Bluebird Care York
At Bluebird Care York, we offer extensive training that allows our customers to know they’re in the right hands.
Training holds utmost importance in health and social care as it guarantees safety for both carers and recipients of care while upholding premium quality. It instils essential behaviours, attitudes, skills, and knowledge required to deliver excellent, secure, person-centred care and equips carers to respond skilfully to emerging risks.
Regulatory bodies like CQC heavily emphasise the quality of training and the carers skills. Thus, ensuring the highest standards of training and demonstrating basic to advanced skills reflects positively on Bluebird Care.
Prioritising comprehensive training not only enhances Bluebird Care's image but also attracts competent staff. As our carers form the core of Bluebird Care, providing them with confidence and thorough preparation through high-quality training is imperative.

These types of training are made to make our carers feel confident and ready to start providing nothing but outstanding care to our customers.

After not having delivered PEG feeding/medication for quite some time Abbeys knowledge and experience was really helpful, reminding me of the processes but also giving me more understanding of the whole peg process
