Core and Mandatory Training 

At ELHT we recognise the importance of ensuring we have a fully skilled and trained workforce to deliver safe, personal and effective care for all patients. The Core and Mandatory training programme is a suite of courses that must be completed by all colleagues when joining the Trust. Compliance for these subjects is reported monthly and the Core Skills Team ensure that training remains current and in line with all national guidelines and requirements.
