Speciality Training
The specialty training education team at the GOSH Learning Academy delivers a portfolio of training across multiple workstreams. The aim of the specialty training education team is to raise the profile of these areas of practice, improving the knowledge skills and aptitude of healthcare professionals.
We provide a holistic approach to learning and development, equipping healthcare professionals with transferrable skills to deliver safe, evidence based patient care.
Our educators work collaboratively to deliver specific training across the different workstreams, for example safeguarding and learning disabilities deliver Safeguarding for Non-Verbal Children training.

The Learning Disabilities and Autism education team offer bespoke training on topics such as behaviours of concern, reasonable adjustments, eating challenges, autism awareness, and simulation-based teaching on learning disabilities.
In addition to tailored training, we also provide quarterly webinars on a range of topics. These sessions are delivered by experts in the field of Learning disabilities and Autism and aim to provide up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge that staff can apply in their practice. The goal is to equip staff with the understanding and skills needed to care for children and young people with a learning disability and/or autism, and to support their families and carers.
