Corporate induction

We currently provide e-Induction for all new starters. These sessions run during the first full week of every month.

• Day 1 takes place live on Microsoft Teams
• Additional training sessions throughout the week are delivered through a blend of:
• Online learning
• Face to face sessions
• Nexus eLearning modules

If you're unfamiliar with MS Teams, please look at this useful guide. 

Who doesn’t need to attend?

You won’t need to attend induction if:

• You’re returning to the Trust after less than one year
• You’re on a secondment
• You’re a volunteer, and your manager agrees you don’t need to attend

Once your manager completes your appointment form, our Learning and Development Team will automatically book you onto the next available induction.

You’ll receive two emails with everything you need:

1. Confirmation of your booking
2. Your personalised induction schedule will be sent the week before your induction begins

Your manager will be copied into both emails so they can support you throughout the process.

Here’s what your first day will look like:

If you've worked in the NHS previously, we may be able to recognise some of the training you completed at your previous Trust.

What you need to do

Please send a copy of your previous Trust training record to learningdevelopment@berkshire.nhs.uk. Or, if your previous trust used the ESR system, your training record will come through automatically.

Your training record should clearly show:

• Your full name
• The Trust name and logo
• Course title(s)
• Completion date(s)
• Whether the training is CSTF aligned (Core Skills Training Framework)

Providing this information helps us accurately review and map your training. If you are unable to access your training record yourself, you can request your previous Trust to send your training details directly to the Learning and Development Team at learningdevelopment@berkshire.nhs.uk. 

The Learning and Development Team will review your training record and confirm which courses can be transferred or recognised, helping you avoid repeating training where possible.

If you have any questions about your induction, our Learning and Development Team is here to support you. You can contact them at LearningDevelopment@berkshire.nhs.uk.
