The NHS Institute closed on 31 March 2013. This website is being maintained until the end of June 2013 so that registered users can download documents and view videos (but webinars are no longer available). Once this website is closed you'll be able to see all publicly available content on The National Archives website: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/*/http://institute.nhs.uk.

Please note that from May 1st 2013 the ability to order our hard copy materials will be temporarily suspended as we finalise the closedown of the NHS Institute and complete the transition to NHS Improving Quality (part of NHS England). It will still be possible to download publications until this website closes, which is projected to be at the end of June 2013. It is currently anticipated that many of the materials will be passed onto NHS England and should become available again later this year.

Further messages on its future will be posted here over the coming weeks.

Welcome to the team!

Welcome to the Team!

We are delighted that you will soon be joining us and this section is designed to provide you with some essential information that will give you a head start in your Induction Process

We have invested considerable time and effort in developing a comprehensive induction section on our NHS Institute's intranet. You'll have full access to this from the moment you are assigned your personal email address on your first day. Of course, your manager, your 'Buddy' and other members of your new team will help you with more practical things and there are some details about working with us that simply cannot be written down.

Induction Checklist

You will find the Induction Checklist helps to gain some understanding of the areas to be covered and understood during your first days and weeks. This list will be used by your manager or team representative to identify, with you, the things that are essential, desirable or beneficial for you to know.
