In these times of stressed public budgets and constant worries about how the government of the day is going to keep the health service providers fully funded and up to par with their service provision, it is absolutely essential to ensure training of staff is not one of the casualties, in ore ways than one!

The need for nurses to continually update their training and on the job knowledge cannot be over emphasised.  With so much research and drug testing out there being provided at absolutel phenominal outlay, it is critical that the nursing staff maintain their high level of expertise in interpretting the writtena nd inferred instruction.  With so many more folk needing our hospital beds, getting the patients assessed, tested, assigned to appropriate ward and then treated in the shortest possible time, requires absolutely top class nurses and in turn their training needs to be first class.
