Update to Cleanliness Champions - Completion Time Limit Introduction

1 June 2011

Cleanliness Champions' statistics have shown that there is a large number of registered students across NHS Scotland who do not appear to have completed the programme and many remain registered but not completed for several years.

In response, NES has introduced a six month completion time for all students and an information letter has been sent to health board registration officers to assist them in deregistering expired records and promoting completion of the programme among those that are still active.  This time limit does not apply to those undertaking the programme within a structured higher education curriculum.

If you registered before 1st June 2011 you will be given an additional six months from now to complete the programme.  All those students who register after 1st June 2011 will start within the time limit of six months for completion.  If you require any further information please contact your registration officer for further details.
