How to add a skill that is not on the list
It is not possible to name or add your own skill, there is a drop-down of skills we have preloaded. If a Care professional has a certificate or training that is not on the list, you can select Other on the drop-down menu and upload the certificate or document in the upload file section. You can then add notes to explain what the skill is, this will then appear on the skills list.
