Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is now delivering Tier 1 & Tier 2 training
We are committed to providing high-quality, inclusive training that enhances knowledge, skills, and best practices in health and social care. We look forward to supporting you in delivering the highest standards of care through this mandatory training programme.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training. The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that CQC-registered providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.
Oliver’s Training also supports the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan ambition by upskilling the wider health and care workforce to provide appropriately adjusted care for people with a learning disability and autistic people to reduce health inequality.
About us
The Oliver McGowan training team are a small, dedicated team that strive to support high quality education. We facilitate the delivery of Tier 1 & Tier 2 Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism. This can be via our regular timetabled sessions we offer throughout the year, or by bespoke requests, based on the needs of individual areas within the Trust, or external organisations and companies.
We predominantly deliver our sessions face to face on site at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, in one of our designated training rooms, but can deliver offsite at request.
