New accreditation for Noble's Hospital

Monday, 10 September 2012 01:00

Noble’s Hospital has been officially accredited as an IMPACT training centre, meaning new doctors will receive extra tuition.

IMPACT is a UK-accredited scheme which helps junior and trainee doctors and nurses to appropriately refer patients for more specialist treatments.

The accreditation means Noble’s can now run its own training courses twice a year.

Dr Magnus Garrioch is the director of IMPACT and visited the Island to train 12 senior medical staff.

He explained more about the initiative (see audio):
