CDHB career development

At the CDHB we believe that learning and development is intrinsically linked to the overall performance of the organisation. Therefore, it is our commitment to provide strong professional leadership and an environment which facilitates employee development.

Career development involves assisting individuals to develop and fulfil their potential over time and includes training and appropriate support.

We have a comprehensive staff development programme which has been designed to supplement the ongoing clinical skills training available to staff. People management and skills-based training and development for first level managers, supervisors and line staff is provided generically, or as required by specialty areas.

The CDHB has also has a Management & Leadership Training Programme for Managers of all levels of experience.

A Clinical Skills Unit is located on the Christchurch Hospital campus. The Unit provides a range of professional staff and team based training opportunities so employees can attain high standards of excellence in their performance of clinical tasks such as intravenous lines, suturing, and various examination techniques.
