Askham Village Community care home and rehab centre in Doddington approved as learning organisation

A care home and rehab centre was successfully reconfirmed as a Learning Organisation approved by Health Education England.

Askham Village Community, based in Doddington, was recognised as a learning environment for NHS East of England.

The team met the quality standards required to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment for clinical learners.

The certificate comes as a confirmation of the support received by all their trainees throughout their learning process, along with the commitment of the team in providing multi-professional education.

Being part of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Training Hub, Askham is able to train the future generation of General Practice, as well as other healthcare professionals such as nurses.

Talking about this achievement, Mavrick Leveille, the Associate Director of Askham Village Community, said: “We are delighted to have reconfirmed our place amongst the learning organisations available in the Cambridgeshire area.

“This certification has a tremendous impact on the development of our whole team. By being a learning organisation, we are committed to ensure a learning environment to all our trainees.

“We are very happy to connect with other practices and trainers across the region to be able to extend our knowledge and together to make the health and social sector a more educated space.”

Making Askham a learning hub is said to be one of the interests of the organisation and they managed to do that through the development of their onsite training centre, AVC Training.

The centre has a huge impact on the development of each team member, making sure they stay up-to-date with their training or even helping them progress in their careers.

Together with the centre, this certification speaks volumes of one of the five core values of Askham which is empowerment.

The Health Education England is an organisation that is part of the NHS.
