    Hi Janine,
    We tried training non clinicians and they had real trouble identifying procedures, as Ruth also found. In the end it was too difficult and could not get them over the pass mark for being auditors.

    I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and live, and respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay respect to Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.

    Hi Janine

    I have previously trained non clinical staff however they needed extra support as had issues with identification of clinical procedures.

    Good Morning,

    Do any facilities have HH auditors that are non-clinicians e.g. operational staff & admin staff?

    I’m aware that HHA recommend that you should only have professional staff as auditors but have been asked the question by my line manager?

    If you do, can you advise if they audit all staff and all wards?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards
