ONLINE WORKSHOPS THAT MATTER!

In an effort to provide cost contained training opportunities for your Nursing, Social
Service and Activity staff, Geriatric Healthcare Consultants will be offering a LIVE
online educational series - beginning January 2010. Rather than traveling to a centralized training center (involving significant travel expenses), participants log onto
a LIVE, INTERACTIVE web based presentation while in the comfort of their own office!
It's as simple as that.


To ensure that the training is truly interactive, we will be using "Real Time Q & A".
Real Time Q & A provides participants the opportunity to type questions, share
insights and interact with the presentation team during the presentation and to
receive a direct response to content oriented questions immediately. Responses are
fielded by a team of content experts who are coordinating the Q & A. As appropriate,
questions are shared with the entire audience or directly back to the participant
who asked the question.

Listen in the comfort of your own facility. Gather staff from multiple departments
and have them all hear the information at the same time!

These are the topics you say you want to learn about!


To ensure that our presentation topics are truly reflective of YOUR NEEDS, we have asked, and listened to, Administrators, Directors of Nursing, Staff Developers, Activity and Social Service Directors throughout the country.
We can’t wait to share this exciting information with you! Here is what we will be covering this year!
