FAQs

Why does Forth Valley have so many clinical systems?

Forth Valley has several clinical systems that were already in use before TrakCare was introduced. These legacy systems are likely to streamlined in the future but at present there are more numerous clinical systems in place here than in other Health Boards.

We hope the clinical systems induction eLearning program makes it easier for incoming Doctors in Training to navigate training on these systems.

Why do I have to do Trak training again when I have already used it in GGC or Lothian?

In NHS Forth Valley, we use the Scottish Edition Version of TrakCare. Not all other Health Boards in Scotland are currently using the Scottish Edition version of the system, however thankfully most are on the journey to transition to it. Coupled with this, our NHS Forth Valley processes and procedures will be in some cases quite different to those in other Health Boards in Scotland.

Additionally, there can be widespread differences in the modules of the TrakCare system used too. Therefore, to maintain good practice and data quality/integrity, it is vitally important that you receive training in our NHS Forth Valley system, encompassing and learning about our Forth Valley operating practices/operating procedures which should help equip you with the knowledge and background you need to use the system proactively here.

How do I get my Professionalism certificate?

Once you have completed your clinical systems Turas bundle and updated your Statutory Mandatory learning, please send a screenshot of your updated Turas Learning History to fv.postgraduatemedicaleducation@nhs.scot with the title line “Professionalism certificate”.

Your Professionalism certificate will be sent back to you within the next 7 to 10 days.

What IT Support is available?

On-site IT support team members will be available on induction day, to assist you with IT support, network access, training and Turas Learn enquiries, clinical system account administration and HePMA access.

Our IT service desk team members will be based in the Learning Centre on level 3, and they will be more than happy to answer any IT enquiries you might have.
