Information Governance

In order to achieve Level 3 for Information Governance requirement 510, a Trust must be providing a training programme for Clinical Coders, ensuring that the courses are comprehensive and conform to National Standards.

 

Clinical Coders must also attend clinical coding specialty and update training workshops when classification revisions require.

 

Training Courses

We offer a full range of Training Courses and Specialty Workshops using Clinical Classification Service approved materials and also our own Specialty Based courses which conform to National Standards and support continuous professional development for all Clinical Coders.

Courses can be tailored to suit individual Trusts needs and all course materials are provided, with the exception of the current ICD Volumes 1, 2 and 3 and OPCS Tabular and Index.
