Training Academy

We provide the best level of training support and encouragement to our workforce; allowing them to work in specialised environments with ease and the right skill set.

At Shepherd Healthcare Group, we provide CPD accredited training to all of our staff, including our newest workers and those who undergo the annual refresher training courses.​

All of our training is in line with the care industry standards; and aims to equip health and social care workers with the knowledge and skills they need to provide safe, compassionate, quality care and support.
