E-learning and classroom training updates for nurses

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

Why do nurses need mandatory training updates?

Statutory and mandatory training updates are crucial for nurses to stay legally compliant with UK laws and regulations, uphold exemplary professional standards, ensure patient safety, and demonstrate ongoing competencies — all fundamental to maintaining trust and excellence in service delivery.

Additionally, these courses are instrumental in enabling nurses to meet the rigorous continuing professional development requirements set forth by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), ensuring they remain at the forefront of healthcare practice.
