Corporate Induction

Corporate Induction Week

Once you have received your confirmation of employment, your line manager will book you on Corporate Induction.

New staff will be sent an email with detailed instructions on what is required for Corporate Induction, approx. 1 week prior to commencement.   This email will be sent to your personal email address (used on JobTrain).   If the email does not arrive, please check their JUNK/TRASH mail, if not visible. 


If you require access to a laptop/ PC or have any additional learning needs then please contact loth.corporateinduction@nhs.scot prior to your induction start date.

If you require reasonable adjustments within your new role, this should be discussed directly with your line manager.

If there is a slot within the induction week that indicates no scheduled training you should arrange with your line manager your local induction.


Monday and Tuesday of Corporate Induction is over MS Teams with some self directed study.

Manual Handling is in person, you will receive confirmation of venue and times at the beginning of your induction week. If you are a University leaver who has completed manual handling training within the last year you could be sufficiently trained and will not be required to undertake this aspect of Corporate Induction ( we will need proof of date and level of training to confirm).

Clinical Induction is in person, you will receive an email from the Clinical Education team confirming where this will take place (mainly the Comely Bank Centre or WGH). Please note there is no parking on site at either of these locations, however, there are good bus routes.

Join the MS Teams meeting from 08.50am to ensure you do not have any technical difficulties.

NB.  it is essential that new staff complete the Core Mandatory subjects by the end of their first week of employment, as this will ensure they know what is expected to keep themselves and others safe.   (There is no requirement to undertake the learning prior to their date of commencement) .  All other Induction requirements should be completed within the first 12 weeks.

New Employees are required to advise their Line Manager once they have completed their LearnPro Core Mandatory Modules and Essential Modules assigned to their job role so accuracy and completion can be checked via scorecard.
