Our commitment to learning and teaching
At SCHN Education, we recognise that continuous learning is crucial for providing the highest quality care to the children and families we serve.
We are dedicated to upskilling our interdisciplinary teams through professional and vocational training, ensuring that they possess the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to deliver exceptional care.
Our aim is to make our teams more adaptable, equipping them to thrive within the ever-evolving models of care.
At the forefront of our educational efforts is the Education and Training Services team.
This dedicated team facilitates a wide range of learning opportunities including continuing professional development courses, seminars and workshops, and ensures mandatory training compliance for more than 8,000 clinical and non-clinical staff.
The team comprises of experts in clinical and non-clinical education curriculum design, assessment, and evaluation.
We are equipped with state-of-the-art simulation centres at our Westmead and Randwick precincts, a modern library offering support across the SCHN, and cutting-edge audio-visual, photography, e-learning, and IT resources.
We are committed to providing world-class healthcare and supporting best practices in paediatric healthcare within NSW and beyond.
We actively collaborate with external education and training providers, local health districts, and key pillars of NSW Health. This ensures that training reflects current evidence and effectively addresses real-world challenges commonly encountered by the healthcare professional.
