QEF PVMA Training
Professional, Proud and Passionate
Prevention & Management of Violence & Aggression Training (PMVA) not only teaches you the skills you need, it teaches you competencies to support those skills.
Collectively our tutors have over 40 years’ experience working in healthcare and working with clinically related challenging behaviour. We continue to actively support and advise clinical staff and ensure all those in our care are treated with empathy and dignity.
"The North East Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust are happy to be working in partnership with QE Facilities who provide our Trust with Breakaway Training. We have found the service to be professional and the feedback is excellent."
-Elaine McDonald Head of Workforce Development North East Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust
As QE Facilities foundations are firmly rooted in healthcare, caring is at the centre of everything that we do. We are committed to reducing the need for physical intervention and understanding the root causes of aggression as a whole.
This is done by looking at the primary levels of intervention which include:
> Identifying the triggers that can cause challenging behaviour
> Identifying the risk to staff and others
> Creating a positive environment and staff approach.
Members of the QEF training team have experience working with the NHS as clients and delivering training sessions to NHS employees. Recently we have expanded our training packages to encompass training that can be adapted
to any frontline employees. Conflict Resolution Training is a key measure to protect
NHS staff, and those who deliver NHS services, from violence but can equally be
beneficial to any frontline setting. For many years this type of training has been
mandatory in the NHS in order to protect its greatest asset, its employees. Training
should be monitored, reviewed and evaluated according to employees’ risk of facing
conflict and appropriate levels of training offered As NHS Conflict Resolution Specialists,
we are best-placed to deliver the training course that is mandatory for all NHS employees
