Mandatory training for locum doctors is the training that determines to be essential for locum doctors' safe and efficient practice. This training aims to reduce risks and comply with policies, as well as legislative and regulatory requirements.

In health and social care settings, mandatory training is a compulsory requirement based upon the responsibility for medical, nursing, and healthcare staff to work safely and effectively.

Generally, statutory training for locum doctors is the training that the law requires. Statutory training also refers to the practice that a legislative body has instructed an organisation to provide based on specific legislation, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Statutory training intends to update doctors and health and social care staff with the latest legislation, regulations, guidance and best practice recommendations. Statutory training also ensures that employees have the skills and knowledge to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for themselves, their colleagues and patients/service users.

Here at The Mandatory Training Group, many people get in touch with us enquiring about the difference between statutory and mandatory training. In practice, we have found that many health and social care providers often describe both types of training as 'essential training' or 'compulsory training', and sometimes 'statutory mandatory training' or only 'mandatory training'.

So, what is the difference between statutory and mandatory training? The majority of healthcare and social care organisations use the term 'mandatory training' as a 'catch-all' to cover both mandatory and statutory training.

Statutory and mandatory training frameworks that meet the criteria for better health are as follows:

The training modules in our statutory and mandatory training packages are appropriate in depth to the level of understanding needed for various healthcare and social care professionals.

Statutory and mandatory training courses are essential for locum doctors and health and social care workers. Statutory and mandatory training supports health and social care professionals in achieving the standards set by regulatory authorities and in meeting organisational obligations.

Our statutory and mandatory training packages cover all the legislative and regulatory requirements for care workers to work safely and efficiently, as well as minimising litigation.

NHS Trusts, private healthcare providers, care homes and other Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated organisations have a legal responsibility to provide various statutory and mandatory training courses that their staff, especially the locum doctors, must attend.

As statutory training is required to ensure that the organisation is meeting any legislative duties, mandatory training is an organisational requirement to limit risks and maintain a safe working practice.

Our mandatory and statutory training courses help both health and social care employers and employees to fulfil their legislative duties. These comprehensive courses provide the essential knowledge and understanding as required by regulatory authorities.
