Overview

This free Google Docs template gives a clinic one shared plan for the first 90 days of a new clinical starter. It sets out what must be ready before day one, the mandatory training and systems access in week one, supervised practice, the competency sign-offs and a day 90 review. Each page answers one question the starter, the manager or HR will ask, so nobody has to chase the next step.

The sample is a plan for Amara Osei, a fictional nurse starting at Riverside Clinic, part of Kettleby Group, a fictional healthcare organisation. Its names, dates and modules are invented. Replace the starter's details, the goals and the first-week meetings with your own, then remove any section that does not apply to the role before the plan is shared.

Useful for

  • A new nurse or therapist joining a clinic team with supervised practice
  • A healthcare assistant moving to a new site that needs its own sign-offs
  • A clinical lead reviewing a starter's competencies at day 90

What's included

  • A cover page with the starter's name, role and start date
  • Mandatory training with key dates, modules and sign-off rules
  • A systems and equipment diagram with a who-to-ask panel
  • A first-week process, with a note on what to do when plans slip
  • A sign-off page for induction, supervision and medicines
  • A day 90 review with SWOT boxes, a timeline and a checklist

Questions

Should the new starter see this plan?

Yes. Sharing it before day one lets the starter see what happens and who to ask. Keep clinical records out of the plan, which should cover only the induction steps.

Are the clinic, people and dates real?

No. Kettleby Group, Riverside Clinic, Amara Osei, the modules and every date are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own details before you share the plan.

What if a starter is not signed off by day 90?

Record the gap in the review, agree a named plan with the clinical educator, and set a new check-in date. A late sign-off is a planning signal, not a failure of the starter.
