Individual National Health Service employers are responsible for ensuring that their staff are trained and competent to carry out their roles safely and effectively.

To support NHS employers and their staff, Health Education England’s Programme e-Learning for Healthcare, also offers e-learning sessions which include content on Tourette’s Syndrome.
