Ballyhoura Development is currently planning the delivery of two health care training programmes. The first of these will be based in Hospital, Co Limerick and the other in Charleville, Co. Cork.
The aim of the initiative is to build the skills of women and provide them with the opportunity to progress toward recognised FETAC Level 5 qualifications in Health Care. The training programme is designed to provide practical information and skills for individual women who wish to work in the health care sector by helping participants to progress by improving their labour market readiness.
The following modules will be delivered in Charleville; Care Skills, Care of the Older Person, Occupational First Aid, One to One Career Planning and Wellness and Recovery Action Planning. In Hospital Ballyhoura Development will offer the following modules: Palliative Care Support, Rehabilitation Support and Infection Prevention & Control, One to One Career Planning and Wellness and Recovery Action Planning. Both training programmes will start in September 2012.
The course is designed to meet the needs of the ever growing care industry in Ireland and understanding client care and care settings will be a key part of the training.
The course content will provide an excellent understanding of the fundamentals of health care support and lead to a recognised qualification in the care of the older person.
For further information on the courses and to book a place please contact Anisa Moynihan at Ballyhoura Development on 063-91730.
This programme is being delivered with support of the European Social Fund (ESF) under the Human Capital Investment Operational Programme and the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government.
