Our community deserves the best care, which is why we invest in the professional development and ongoing education of our staff, encouraging critical thinking, reflective practice and non-technical skill development.

Our primary education partner – the NSW Health Education Training Institute (HETI) – offers a range of online and face-to-face courses nurses and midwives can choose to undertake, to ensure best practice and improve patient outcomes.

Central Coast Health also offers internal courses from preceptorship to quality improvement methodologies, research and clinical supervision – with opportunities for both theoretical study and hands-on simulations, scenario-based learning and use of virtual reality technology.

We also work with several education providers to offer postgraduate courses to enhance specialist skills. The University of Tasmania offers scholarships for CCLHD nurses and midwives to undertake postgraduate nursing study in a range of areas, and further courses are also available through the Australian College of Nursing.

Our Nurses and Midwives also have the opportunity to contribute a small amount each pay to a scholarship fund which gives access to funds on a yearly basis to pay for continuing education or conference attendance.
