Equipment training
We run a diverse programme of equipment training for Devon staff which now includes Webinars and YouTube clips.
It is a mandatory requirement for Devon Equipment Prescribers to complete this e-learning alongside Millbrook PIN training. The E-Learning must also be completed before staff can attend the ILC Assessment & Fitting of equipment training.
Interactive Smart Home Event: Postponed until Spring 2021 due to winter pressures and COVID restrictions.
