As Quality and Training Manager I coordinate role specific training across Thrive Tribe. I liaise with both internal and external trainers to ensure a range of training programmes are available throughout the year. As well as coordinating training I also deliver a range of training including but not limited to NHS Health Check training, MECC and RSPH Understanding Health Improvement. Quality assurance is a key part of my role. I perform clinic observations on all of our client facing members of staff (stop smoking advisors, weight management practitioners, health coaches and NHS Health Check Practitioners) and together we reflect on areas of strength and areas for growth. We use the CQC’s key line of enquiries to establish the quality of their practice and monitor progression. Around half of Thrive Tribe contracts utilise POCT. I support the local services in their external and internal quality assurance and liaise with our EQA provider to ensure contracts are kept up to date and training is provided.
