In order to assess the impacts of its training offer and improve its quality, the FNQLHSSC is working to develop an evaluation mechanism that will allow for measuring the scope of the training that will have been provided to the participants. In the coming months, members of your staff may be questioned in order to obtain feedback from them on the training in which they will have participated.
