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.
Do employers have to provide health and safety training?
Yes. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires employers to give staff the information, instruction and training needed to work safely.
Is a workplace health and safety course online suitable for induction?
Yes. It covers the general topics most new starters need. Add training for any specific hazards in the role, such as chemicals or lone working.
How often should health and safety training be refreshed?
There is no single legal expiry. Many employers refresh this training annually or every 1–3 years, depending on policy and risk.
