What Mandatory Training Really Means in Healthcare
Mandatory training refers to a set of essential learning requirements that every healthcare worker must complete before and during employment.
For newcomers, this training is designed to provide a strong foundation in safety, professionalism, and ethical care.
It ensures that individuals entering healthcare environments understand how to work responsibly, recognise risks, and meet regulatory standards set by bodies such as the CQC.
Mandatory training is not optional — it is a critical part of protecting service users, colleagues, and the wider care system.
