Comprehensive Care Coordinator Training

PCI-accredited training for Care Coordinators working in primary care

Build the confidence, knowledge and practical skills to deliver effective, person-centred care coordination.

Effective care coordination is about more than managing referrals or connecting people with services. It’s about understanding what matters to individuals, recognising the wider factors influencing their health and wellbeing, and helping them navigate the support available to meet their needs.

Care Coordinators play an important role in bringing together patients, healthcare professionals and wider community services to support more personalised, joined-up care.

Our two-day Comprehensive Care Coordinator Training programme equips learners with the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to fulfil this role effectively. Through interactive learning, practical examples and shared experiences, participants develop their understanding of personalised care, patient engagement, communication, referral pathways and caseload management.

Accredited by the Personalised Care Institute (PCI) and aligned with the NHS England Care Coordinator Workforce Development Framework, the programme supports learners to translate personalised care principles into everyday practice.

And our support doesn’t stop when the training finishes. Learners also receive 12 months of access to our monthly Care Coordination in Practice development sessions, providing continued opportunities to reflect, share experiences and strengthen their confidence in the role.
