Course aims and objectives

Ad Vitam Learning's online candidate mandatory training package for locum and agency workers helps clinicians and other healthcare professionals to meet the statutory requirements of the NHS and private healthcare sector and professional code of conduct. The Mandatory Training Group is committed to keeping up to date with changes in relevant UK legislation, national directives, and requirements on the mandatory training program to ensure that it reflects changing legal, risk, and service requirements. To that end, our mandatory and statutory modules are guided by the following:

• Standards set by the Royal Medical Colleges, the Health Professions Council, and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)

The Mandatory Training Group develops appropriate candidate mandatory training courses to meet the NHS quality standards and performance ratings. Our health and safety courses for doctors, AHPs, nurses, and NHS professionals help to reduce injuries and avoid subsequent claims due to negligence and malpractice, improve staff morale, provide safe and effective care and improve the patient experience.
