The Engagement and Training Lead accountable for re-engaging frontline staff and developing an agile dual training strategy and implementation for both hardware and software for the East of England Ambulance Trust (EEAST)

The Trust’s existing electronic patient care record (ePCR) system had been in place since 2009 and would not address the future needs of the service.

- Updated Programme Board presentations.
- Pioneered Live Q&A at the Trust.
- Utilised multiple engagement channels, including a series of digital bulletins 'Change is Good', virtual Q&A sessions, in-person events and social media groups.
- Wrote targeted communications for different end user groups and regions. 
- Created mixed media assets to support other communication channels. 

Training

Senior Manager testimonial: "Delivered the most comprehensive training package I have seen in my 25 years in the NHS".

- Implemented a blended training programme for staff during the COVID-19 pandemic through virtual and online training. Used gamification to develop advanced software training for clinicians.
- Created a Training Asset Library for trainers and super users, providing consistent bite-sized training support materials to improve facilitation and learner knowledge retention. 
- At the end of roll out, blended training delivered to almost 3,000 users, including trainers, super users and end users in the 18 operational areas and 7,500 square miles the Trust operates over.
