Module 3: Education & LTC
86 3.4 Professional Development
Training in LTC, similar to any other health care and workplace setting, is determined by organizational and provincial/territorial legislative requirements.
Educational and training requirements are also guided by entry to practice, standards of practice and even legislative requirements.
In Ontario, the Fixing Long Term Care Act [1] has mandatory training requirements for all staff and providers working in LTC. This includes the following:
- Resident’s Bill of Rights
- LTC home mission statement
- LTC home policy on zero tolerance of abuse & neglect of residents
- LTC home policy to minimize restraints
- Fire prevention & safety
- Emergency & evacuation procedures
- Infection prevention & control
Familiarize yourself with the mandatory training that is required for your LTC setting and any provincial/territorial legislative requirements.
