Introduction

CENTRE FOR LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
I am pleased to present the 2017/2018 Prospectus which details the Learning & Development opportunities
available within the Hospital.
Modern health care provision must be responsive to a constantly changing context driven by population
needs and expectations, political, economic, sociological, technological changes and workforce demands.
Workforce education and training methodology’s, are required to complement and adapt to change.
Ensuring that all staff continue to develop the skills and knowledge they require in providing services that
are safe, evidence based and responsive to public need; is the cornerstone of Learning & Development at
Tallaght Hospital.
No building can be supported up by only one pillar, it requires a foundation and a number of supports to
make the building structurally sound. Similarly, Learning & Development in Tallaght Hospital requires a
number of pillars to ensure that its foundation is responsive to the developmental & clinical needs of both
patients & staff.
As the CLD (Centre for Learning & Development) continues on its developmental path, building on the
existing foundation of education and training provided in the CLD, four pillars of Learning & Development in
Tallaght Hospital have been developed. The 2017/2018 prospectus continues on this theme, with learning
& development opportunities categorised under the most relevant pillar, providing a scaffold of longitudinal
learning.
1. Patients / Clinical
This pillar comprises of programmes which are clinical based. The outcomes of these programmes will
enhance patient care alongside improved clinical competency of the healthcare professional. Some are
mandatory or essential – but many are here to enrich and support your working life.
2. People:
This pillar comprises of programmes which are developed to enhance and support the individual staff
member and people they interact with. Tallaght Hospital strives to be the employer of choice, to develop
and support a culturally diverse, highly competent, motivated and productive workforce. The Learning &
Development Department plays a central role in maintaining and growing leadership potential, facilitating
leadership career pathways and enabling individuals to develop to their fullest potential, actively
contributing to our organisation.
3. Process :
This pillar comprises of programmes which assist employees to provide quality health care that can be
defined, measured and published. Programmes here provide the fundamental principles and tools in
problem solving, analytical skills and systems thinking in order that staff can improve their own processes
leading to a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
