Mandatory Training For General GPS

Welcome to Ad Vitam Learning's online mandatory training package for General Practitioners & GP locums. This mandatory training course package for clinicians was developed to meet the required learning outcomes in the Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) recommendations for health and social care providers. These e-learning courses for General Practitioners and GP practice clinical staff are also in line with the Royal Medical Colleges requirements for doctors revalidation and Code of Professional Conduct.

Course aims and objectives

Ad Vitam Learning's online training package for clinical GP practice staff helps clinicians 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
• Standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the Healthcare Professional Council (HCPC)
• The Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidance for GPs and medical locums
• Skills for Health's UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF)
• NHS frameworks' guidance for locum doctors and other medical locums

The Mandatory Training Group develops appropriate mandatory training to meet the NHS quality standards and performance ratings. Our health and safety courses for clinical general practice staff 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.
