Leading Healthcare Providers Skillnet

Leading Healthcare Providers (LHP) Skillnet is a not-for-profit Learning Network co-funded by Skillnet Ireland and our member companies.

We provide high-quality, sector-led, subsidised training and education to the private healthcare sector. We work extensively with our member companies to address their workforce development needs across all disciplines up to and including owner-manager level. In partnership with our many education providers and industry experts, we will source, coordinate and deliver the programmes best suited to addressing those needs. Where bespoke training solutions are needed, we work with our subject-matter experts to design and develop unique, customised programmes tailored to specific needs. In addition, we support those trying to re-enter the workforce. The students on our Skills Connect Programme are enrolled on the Healthcare Support Course (QQI Level 5) absolutely free of charge. Once obtained, this industry-standard qualification empowers the students to gain safe and secure employment in the healthcare sector. In 2021 we guided 221 Skills Connect students to the successful completion of their course. Our mission is to meet the educational needs of our member companies in the private healthcare sector. Whether you want a specific programme or you simply have a rough idea of the training you need, you can turn to us. We have over a decade’s worth of experience in delivering committed, comprehensive service, and we are continually growing.
