Courses for Acute Care

Investing in Quality Care

The private acute care sector is committed to the training and development of its staff. Yet, as in other sectors, challenges include difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, keeping up with advancements in healthcare practices regulations and accredited standards, and maximising training and professional development budgets.

In view of these challenges, we support our members in the acute care sector, including private hospitals, private health clinics, and professionals that provide acute care such as radiographers, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.

LHP Skillnet offers Courses for Acute Care Providers such as clinics and private practitioners.

For this purpose, we provide training and education programmes that are specific to your needs, so that you can maximise your training budget. Furthermore, we are dedicated to advancing knowledge through collaboration, feedback, high-quality education, and innovative program design. Our goal is to provide you and your teams with the latest evidence-based practices.
