It is expected that all staff will complete relevant mandatory training to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to undertake their role safely and effectively.
NHS ENGLAND – National Mandatory learning people policy
A universal agreement has been made across the NHS in England to accept a core list of statutory and mandatory training which means that staff moving between NHS organisations will not need to repeat training until due. New starters should still undertake orientation and induction as part of their onboarding and will be required to produce evidence of previous mandatory training being undertaken.(Source: Letter to trusts & ICBs)
NHS England have launched a national people policy framework providing local organisations with a consistent approach for now nationally & locally mandated learning is determined and managed. (Source: NHS England » National mandatory learning people policy framework)
Please see the list of statutory & mandatory training here as per NHS England recommendations.
