E-learning and classroom training updates for doctors

The Mandatory Training Group offers online statutory and mandatory training bundles for doctors (on the ComplyPlus LMS™ portal) and practical courses such as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Moving and Handling. All our induction and refresher training packages for doctors align with the UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) and are accredited by the CPD Certification Service.

Why do doctors need mandatory training updates?

Mandatory training updates are imperative for doctors and medical professionals, serving as the cornerstone of legal compliance with UK laws and regulations. These updates are pivotal in upholding the highest professional standards, ensuring unparalleled patient safety, and demonstrating unwavering competency — all of which are crucial in sustaining trust and achieving excellence in healthcare delivery.

Additionally, these courses enable doctors to meet the rigorous continuing professional development requirements set forth by the General Medical Council (GMC), ensuring they remain at the forefront of medical practice.
