eLearning for Healthcare (eLfH) have developed a Statutory and Mandatory Training programme which covers key topics for staff working in health and social care settings. These modules are free to access but you will need to register for an account using your NHS email. The training is self-paced and can be accessed at any time.
The CQC states each practice is responsible for determining what mandatory and additional training its staff need, how it is delivered and how it is monitored and for communicating this to staff.
Information and guidance offered on this page are suggestions and ultimately it remains the responsibly of the practice to ensure they comply with statutory requirements and to determine what provision is mandatory, what should be covered, for which roles and at what frequency. The Hub Plus has no control over quality and accuracy of materials hosted on external websites.
