Welcome to ITEMS

Do you want to:
•    Manage training and development?
•    Develop your team's competence?
•    Increase employee engagement?
•    Boost productivity?
•    Improve quality?

ITEMS Makes Recording & Reporting On Training and Development Easy. Get a simple, clear overview of your team's performance and give them control of their training and development. 

The ITEMS System is an online solution to managing individual, team and organisational training and development needs. The software allows organisations to get the data they need to improve performance and meet compliance requirements; managers to run a more efficient and productive team; and individuals to understand their performance and make the most of their careers.

Who We Are

There are plenty of learning management systems available. However, we don't believe they go far enough. After all, the most effective development comes from working together, creating clarity and personal responsibility; not just from basic access to records and training. 

ITEMS isn’t about simply getting formal training, it’s about providing clear understanding of individual strengths and weaknesses, creating strategies to achieve your targets, and easy accessibility to the information needed in order to progress.

As a former nurse manager in the NHS and having been involved in nationwide service improvement Libby Shepherd, the creator of ITEMS, has seen enough to understand the complexities involved in managing, appraising and training staff. All too often, staff feel distanced from their own development, and managers struggle to find the time to co-ordinate and collate information on their staff, let alone help their employees define and plan for their career progression.

Whether you are in healthcare or any professional setting, ITEMS provides the tools to ensure a highly skilled and engaged workforce so that professionals can find more reward in their work and managers can find it easier to manage their teams. I believe that ultimately this will ensure the provision of consistent quality care. 

The ITEMS System Helps At Every Level Of The Organisation

  • Organisation - Increase the productivity and efficiency of your team, and have instant access to compliance reports.
  • Managers - Help your staff to develop their skills and manage training; with a clearer, more concise approach.
  • Individuals - Take control of your personal development, and have your revalidation or registration information readily to hand.
