The Challenge<\/b><\/h3>\n

As a large organisation NELFT have many IT systems and for staff this can get very confusing and time consuming, especially when using different passwords with different systems and sites. With that in mind they wanted to create an integrated workforce development system that was easy to use, where\u00a0staff can login at one location and more easily manage their Training, Appraisal (Non-Medical), Supervision and NMC Nurse Revalidation.<\/p>\n

The Solutio<\/b><\/h3>\n

Working alongside other departments, NELFT wanted to bring supervision and nurse revalidation into the Organisational Development remit along with training and appraisals to create a single system. An internal stakeholder group was established and a procurement process was undertaken. Chambury Learning Solutions was then awarded the contract as their preferred partner.Over the period of several months, all parties worked together to create, design and vicariously test the necessary four workflows. They went live in two phases; phase 1 with training, supervision and nurse revalidation that launched in September 2018 and phase 2 for appraisals in February 2019.The Organisational Development team successfully integrated four IT systems into one and named the LMS \u2018STEPS\u2019;<\/p>\n
