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: In November, The Independent Living Centre is hosting an ‘Interactive Smart Home Event’ which will be showcasing a wide range of technology. Please see flyer for more details and booking information.
New equipment prescribers in Devon can find out more about our service on a short YouTube film: ‘Introduction to the ILC & frequently asked questions’ email us on ilc-exeter@devon.gov.uk and we will send you a log in to view this.
Nothing beats hands-on equipment training so that you can get to know the equipment and technology that will be part of your equipment prescriber ‘tool kit’, so for hands-on equipment training book onto ‘Assessment and Fitting of DILIS Equipment’. These sessions are essential for new staff and also a good refresher for experienced prescribers. See our full training brochure and booking information.
