Why Statutory & Mandatory Training Matters in UK Healthcare

How the Statutory & Mandatory Training works

Certificates & records

Certificates are available instantly, stored in the learner’s account and exportable for CQC inspections, internal audits and appraisals.

How often should

Statutory & Mandatory training be refreshed?

Statutory & Mandatory training refresher requirements come from national standards rather than a single organisation.

Most GP practices follow the Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) for recognised intervals on key topics. Additional guidance includes NHS England (annual Information Governance), Resuscitation Council UK (annual BLS for clinical staff), and frameworks for infection prevention, safeguarding, and more.

CQC expects practices to use standards like CSTF and ensure ongoing staff competence, with local cycles possible based on risk and service needs.

Frequently

Asked Questions

Which Statutory & Mandatory courses do our staff need?
Training requirements depend on each staff member’s role, responsibilities and the services your practice provides. Common subjects include fire safety, infection prevention and control, safeguarding, information governance, basic life support, and health and safety. Your practice should identify the appropriate subjects, levels and refresher intervals through its training needs assessment and relevant guidance. CQC does not prescribe one fixed training list for every GP practice.
Courses are developed with reference to relevant UK guidance and training frameworks, including the Core Skills Training Framework where applicable. Practice Readiness modules are informed by CQC guidance relevant to services in England. Employers should check each course’s learning outcomes, level and assessment against staff responsibilities and local requirements. Practical training or workplace assessment may also be needed; Care Certificate e-learning supports the knowledge component and does not replace workplace assessment and employer sign-off.
Learners can download their completion certificates and share them with their practice manager for training records. A practice-manager dashboard is coming soon, with planned features to assign courses by role, track completion and certificate dates, and export training records to Excel.
