Training provision

Optimal Living also provides specialist training for individuals and organisations as a separate business stream.

The unique background of the Registered Provider of Optimal Living (Pharmacist as well as Care Provider) has allowed a series of training courses to be developed with both Health and Social Care in mind. The courses can be tailored to the client's needs and consequently the duration of each course can be varied. Furthermore, the courses can be directed towards carers from specific backgrounds, e.g. residential, domiciliary, supported living and day care as well as children's services.

​

Courses are currently being provided to Local Authorities, corporates and charitable organisations.
