CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S YEAR IN REVIEW
In 2014-15 the Health Education and Training Institute (HETI) continued to work in partnership with Local Health Districts (LHDs), Specialty Health Networks (SHNs), other Health Pillars, Health Agencies and the Ministry of Health to ensure workforce capabilities in delivering excellence in patient-centred care.
The NSW Health Learning Management System HETI Online recorded 1,533,617 course completions in 2014-15 across the state. HETI Online made a significant impact in ensuring that standardised high quality training was available anytime, anywhere to all NSW Health staff. During the year HETI responded to LHD/SHN identified training priorities by producing 82 training modules covering a range of clinical and non-clinical topics.
HETI’s NSW Health Leadership Program won an award for ‘significant contribution to innovation in Australia’ at the 6th Annual Lawrence Hargrave Awards. This program was implemented in 13 hospitals across NSW.
