Learning activities to support each pillar of practice

Add to favourites

Once you have used the four pillars of practice to identify what you would like to learn, our learning resources are designed to further develop your knowledge and skills and are designed to be used alongside your Turas Professional Portfolio account.    

Each pillar has a unit of learning activities for you to work through at your own pace. There is no need to complete all the activities, just choose the ones which best suit you.  

If you are would like more information about the pillars of practice and how to apply them in practice, please see our toolkit

Join our working group : Review of learning activities to support the Pillars of Practice

Support Worker Central hosts a number of learning units which support the HCSW Framework and Pillars of Practice.

We are planning to review and refresh the content and format of the learning activities to support each pillar beginning with Facilitating Learning and then Service Improvement.

To help us ensure they are up to date and meet the needs of Support Workers across health and care in Scotland, we are looking to hear from support workers and those directly involved in their learning and development to join our working group. First meeting 19 June 2025.
