Within hospitals and other healthcare services there are many inevitable concerns that arise with regards to infection and cross contamination throughout the entire facility. One area that has become a government target for improvement is the standards of hygienic practice within food preparation areas.

NHS Barnet recognises the importance of infection control and already has its own policies in place, such as the Clean Your Hands campaign. Their two restaurants have already achieved five stars for good Food Hygiene as part of the 'Scores on the doors' scheme. In addition to this, however, they have contracted B-Skill Ltd to deliver Food Hygiene training to a number of their staff in order to meet the government targets.

NHS Barnet covers one of the largest London Boroughs and services 367,000 people with 2 community hospitals, as well as 12 health centres and clinics.

B-Skill Ltd is currently working with NHS Barnet to deliver CIEH Food Safety in Catering training at CIEH level two (to 60 learners) and at CIEH level three (to 9 learners). NHS Barnet, have been so satisfied with the training they have received, that they have commissioned B-Skill Ltd for more dates in September and October of this year.

They chose B-Skill because we have been established for the last 9 years; we specialise in Support Service training and are the leading Industry provider with 80% achievement rates, the highest of any cleaning industry provider, independently measured by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Similarly, being a national organization, B-Skill Ltd can deliver the training across a wide geographical area, ensuring that a high quality of training can be expected at all locations.

Rekha Halai, Band 1-4 / NVQ Development Co-ordinator for NHS Barnet stated that: "Infection control is very important to NHS Barnet. To prove our commitment to this, as well as delivering statutory Infection Control training to all staff, we have invested in external Food Hygiene training with B-Skill Ltd and have announced B-Skill's quality of training to be excellent"

NHS Barnet also mentioned that they would re-invest in B-Skill Ltd for the training for new recruits as the training has been useful, 'meeting all learning styles and needs' . The course was described by NHS Barnet as 'interactive' with resources from B-Skill being at a 'high standard' .

The two things that stood out most about B-Skill for NHS Barnet was the good communication between the two organisations and that the quality of training has been excellent.

NHS Barnet is driving up its standards and taking a lead on hygiene and infection control and B-Skill Ltd is proud to be the provider for such an exemplary organisation.
