Company information
The Eden Alternative (UK) is a ‘not for profit’ training provider for the Eden Alternative model of care. It has operated in the UK since 2005 and Eden itself has operated since 1992. It’s an ‘Alternative’ because it drives forward the culture of care with its members, building care environments that are different from most people’s experience, understanding or perception. Its programme has many elements, many of which are common sense and often what people in the sector are already aspiring to. However, its detailed body of material focuses on developing a progressive vision, applies theory to practice and makes vision a reality.
The reason why people adopt the Eden Alternative is to enhance the wellbeing of residents, the essential workforce, and residents’ families. It also makes very good business sense. It has plenty of material, principles, and ways of enhancing wellbeing; put together in a way that delivers a home’s ambitions. The model has been tried and tested over 30 years and suits homes already likely running ambitious training programmes. Whilst Eden dovetails with most programmes it also stands alone and gets results.
Eden operates in 20 countries: the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, Iceland, Mauritius, Singapore and many other regions.

Lead Individual
Caitlin Greenaway joined Edify after 10 years of service at St Georges NHS Trust within Paediatric Therapies. She brings a wealth of experience across many disciplines, and you will find her friendly, reliable and in tune with Edify’s ethos – keeping things simple, helpful and always trying to deliver the very best service possible at all times. Caitlin welcomes your call to demonstrate these qualities to you and assist you with your training needs.
Company information
Edify Training was founded in 2006 with the aim of providing highest quality training to the health and social care sector. The business now also serves the education and wider commercial sectors. The starting concept is simply to play our part in improving the lives of those in care. Edify aimed to do this by enhancing the knowledge and skills of the persons who help to care for them. Client feedback has been that the courses are very apt because they are full of examples that can be encountered within care settings. The training therefore might be more relevant than the generic courses offered by many
training providers.
Courses are largely based around tutor-led activities where delegates learn through doing rather than just listening and, as a result, the core material becomes very memorable. This helps staff to feel better prepared when the training is called upon to be put into action.
The full range of over 100 course options includes all core mandatory subjects and also a large number of specialist topics. Edify has worked hard to put a suite of courses together to cover the majority of staff training needs within most types of work settings.
Qualified trainers are recruited from appropriate backgrounds and the current team includes nurses, paramedics, fire and rescue personnel, care managers, mental health and learning disability specialists. The trainers have a wealth of experience and are passionate about delivering really inspiring sessions, which allow staff to return to their workplace with vastly improved knowledge. We look forward to working with you and demonstrating our commitment to the above points.

Lead individual
Jenny has over 30 years’ experience working as a nurse within the health and social care sector. She is a qualified nurse (RGN), holds a nursing degree BSc (Hons), as well as management, teaching (PGCE) and assessing qualifications. Jenny has held positions from volunteer through to Director of Nursing and Specialist Adviser for the Care Quality Commission.
Having worked as a registered manager, Jenny understands the dilemmas and complexities that managers are faced with and, due to this, is able to offer appropriate support.
Company information
Solicitude Training was founded over 10 years ago, with a view to providing high-quality, cost-effective, and engaging training. Jenny and her team are passionate about providing bespoke training that is relevant to the individual service. All trainers come from a clinical background and can therefore relate to the staff in a meaningful manner. Trainers can offer constructive support throughout the training when practice questions and issues are raised.
Due to the nature of care work, training can be provided to meet the needs of shift workers and this includes delivering training not only on Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, but also on an evening or weekend at no additional cost to the service. Training can be face-to-face, virtual or e-learning. There has been a shift over the past couple of years and more services are using the blended approach to learning. Staff will gain the theoretical knowledge via e-learning; but this is then re-enforced and applied to practice during face-to-face delivery. Services can also be supported with the provision and/or completion of competency frameworks following training.
Solicitude Training would be very happy to undertake a FREE training needs analysis for your service and submit a report.
