Part 1 and 2 - 'Launch' and 'Drinking Well' Training
Sign-Up
During this 2 hour session you'll find out everything you need to know about the 2024 Norfolk and Waveney Hydration Programme. Although the 'Launch Session' isn't mandatory, the 'Drinking Well: Promoting Hydration' training is. This will be delivered by your Training and Assessment in Healthcare Trainer in the second half the session - you'll also receive a certificate! After you've completed this you'll be able to sign-up for Part 3 - the Face-to-Face Champions Workshop Training!
Because we understand how busy the health and social are sector can be, we've also included a link to the same training, but in eLearning form. The eLeanring can be accessed here and shouldn't take more than 45 minutes and has been specially developed by the University of East Anglia for the programme. Once you have completed this step, you'll be able to sign up for the Step 3 'Face-to-Face Hydration Champion Training Day'.
