Training a team? We can help.
Many care providers, NHS teams and employers use our eLearning to keep staff training current. A business account lets you buy courses in bulk, assign them to staff and track completion in one place. That gives you a clear record for audits and inspections.
Since 2008, Medipro has trained thousands of health and care professionals in the classroom and online. We can help you build a training plan that mixes eLearning with practical, tutor-led courses at our Stockton-on-Tees centre.

Is risk assessment a legal requirement?
Yes. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to assess risks. If you employ five or more people, the significant findings must be recorded.
Who can carry out a risk assessment?
A competent person, which means someone with suitable knowledge, training and experience. Risk assessment training online is one way to build that knowledge.
How often should a risk assessment be reviewed?
There is no fixed legal interval. Review it when something changes, after an incident, or at the interval set in your own policy.
