Our response to Covid-19
In March 2020, our team responded rapidly to the change in ways of working and supporting the health sector in response to Covid-19.

Covid-19 Workforce Survey
It’s more vital than ever to understand how Covid-19 has impacted our NHS and care workforce. In June 2020 we conducted the largest Covid-19 Workforce Survey for the health sector carried out by our in-house Research and Evaluation team.

Covid-19 Awareness Course
First launched in March 2020, this free eLearning course developed by our learning experts, was accessed by over 30,000 healthcare staff in just a few weeks. Now regularly maintained and updated with all the latest guidance, the online resource continues to support the training of how to recognise the symptoms of coronavirus, how to effectively use PPE, important infection prevention and control measures, and much more. The free online version is not certificated, however if you require proof of completion, a certificated version is available via our eLearning platform.
Putting people and patients first
In response to Covid-19, our Chief Executive, John Rogers, issued a statement to explain how the team here at Skills for Health would always make the healthcare workforce and its patients our number one priority.
