Any staff hired or with newly assigned clinical responsibilities since the last training will be scheduled to attend to ensure all employees receive this training within the required timeframes. The Human Resources Coordinator will be responsible for informing employees about the scheduled training and the Clinical Supervisor will be responsible for ensuring attendance and following up with any staff member who misses. |
