Health, Nursing and Social Care
We understand that caring for vulnerable people is both a sensitive and complex issue and our experience and knowledge enable us to provide specialist training, consultancy, support and compliance software to those within social care.
Health and safety should always come first when providing care. There are a number of legislative bodies and regulations available to support this, including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Local Authority, Trading Standards and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) which can bring prosecutions against care providers.
Envesca specialises in providing professional care training to a wide range of care organisations. This includes care home groups, retirement villages and homes, housing associations and domiciliary care providers. It also includes everything in between including voluntary workers and charities!
Our dedicated team of experts have all owned, managed or worked within this sector for many years. Their in depth knowledge and experience will help ensure that health and safety remains high on your business agenda. They can help you put sensible measures in place that will not affect the amazing care and support you provide.

What Our Customers Say About Us
I have been using Envesca to deliver the Health and Safety training for our Health and Social care charity for over eleven years. I have nothing but praise for the training delivery, professionalism, and friendly service we receive.
Helen Shave
| Learning & Development Manager |
White Horse Care Trust
Using Envesca was really easy, after a brief chat with Sue to decide what we wanted to cover, we booked the date, completed a short booking form, so quick and easy. The team learnt some new first aid skills and the feedback was very positive. I think they enjoyed practicing the Heimlich manoeuvre, it was fun, but the important message of helping someone who is choking still got across. Envesca covers many topics not just first aid and I would highly recommend them.

I recently attended an Emergency First Aid course. Having had a bereavement in the family this year, I was unsure how I would cope with CPR training. After a quiet word with my trainer, I was put at ease. The class was great and informative, and I felt a lot more confident in myself. Thank you.
Renate Grzebieniowski
| Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
We were really impressed and very grateful. Jim was great! He delivered the course in a very entertaining and informative manner with lots of energy and audience participation. The team learnt lots and enjoyed their learning. We will definitely be back next year.
