Health Institute of the North, S\u00cdMEY, the Farsk\u00f3linn \u00e1 Nor\u00f0urlandi vestra and the Thekkingarnet \u00deingeyinga have, in recent years, enjoyed a good collaboration regarding the education and professional development of HSN staff. This collaboration was based on Targeted Needs Analyses that were carried out in the winter of 2014-2015 in the HSN service area. Due to the positive experience from that project, it was decided to conduct a new needs analysis and develop a new training plan that can be used in the coming years. HSN's operations extend from Bl\u00f6ndu\u00f3s in the west to \u00de\u00f3rsh\u00f6fn in the east, making the collaboration between these three centres for lifelong learning a key factor in effectively managing staff development across such a wide area. <\/p>\n
At the end of last year, a new Strategic Needs Analysis and the implementation of a new training plan for HSN were completed. Now, in the spring term of 2022, work has commenced on the new training plan, which is valid until the end of 2024. A wide range of courses are available for HSN staff, some delivered on-site and others through digital solutions. <\/p>\n
The project was launched at the end of October 2020 with the signing of a contract for a seconded Training Manager. The professional development funds R\u00edkismennt, the SLF\u00cd Professional Development Fund and the Professional Development Fund for Municipal Employees of the State supported the project, along with the Professional Development Centre for University Staff. As the implementing body, S\u00cdMEY led the project in collaboration with Farsk\u00f3linn and \u00deekkingarnet \u00deingeyinga. The project has been worked on by project managers Ingunn Helga Bjarnad\u00f3ttir and Krist\u00edn Bj\u00f6rk Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, Halld\u00f3r B. Gunnlaugsson for the Farsk\u00f3linn in West Northland, and Helena Eyd\u00eds Ing\u00f3lfsd\u00f3ttir for the Thingeying Knowledge Network. <\/p>\n
A steering group was appointed, comprising thirteen HSN staff from across the organisation, which identified the project's objectives and made recommendations on how to achieve them. The steering group was enthusiastic, and the discussions at the group's meetings, all of which were held via TEAMS, were useful and provided good information that was well utilised in the project's further work and progress. Two focus groups were also established to further assess the staff's training needs. Close collaboration was also maintained with the HR Manager at HSN during the project's implementation. <\/p>\n
As part of the analysis, two surveys were distributed to HSN's staff of approximately 600 people: one was a survey of attitudes and the other a job analysis. The project has provided extensive information on what should be prioritised in training matters within the North-West Regional Health Authority. In the coming term, HSN, in collaboration with S\u00cdMEY, the Farsk\u00f3linn and the Thingeyrar Knowledge Network, will work on training and educating staff in line with the priorities identified in the staff survey and needs analysis. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
