Following the development of a clinical skills practical room, Rotherham General Hospital NHS Trust realised that it needed to have a more robust system of training staff. It was crucial to not only have the right equipment but also to have appropriately skilled people to run training sessions. As a result, the trust set up a post to organise training and the clinical skills facilitator has the remit to work across professional boundaries, providing support to nursing and medical staff and students. Karen Shaw offers an insight into her working week.
