    On your induction you will probably listen to a fire lecture, risk management talk, learn about the structure of the trust, infection control and get your uniforms if required...

    Very boring!

    You also get a mini resuscitation course (if needed in your job) and on mine i was also taught lifting techniques etc for patients.

    Mine was 2 days and I was sent an outline of the 2 days. If in doubt you can always ask Personnel for any specific info. We had free lunch and drinks on our induction as well.

    It's a good chance to get to know people. They usually send reps from personnel and occupational health etc in case you have any questions and it's a good way of networking. Good luck with the job!
