Understanding non-clinical statutory and mandatory training
Non-clinical statutory training encompasses courses organisations legally must provide to their non-clinical employees and contractors. It includes health and safety, fire safety, and ensuring workers' fundamental rights and freedoms are upheld, safeguarding the workplace and its employees.
Non-clinical mandatory training involves courses deemed essential by an organisation based on specific roles and responsibilities of non-clinical workers and contractors. Although not legislated, these are crucial for safe and effective practice and include data protection, infection control, and conflict resolution.
Why invest in non-clinical training?
Training for non-clinical staff enhances service quality and ensures compliance with UK health and social care regulatory bodies such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA), and Care Inspectorates in Wales and Scotland. Investing in comprehensive training programs supports non-clinical roles and enhances health and social care services' overall safety and efficiency.
