Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to take steps to roll out NHS training and development available to doctors to all NHS staff.

It is the responsibility of individual employers to ensure that their staff are trained and competent to carry out the role for which they are employed, and for making decisions about the ongoing professional training and development requirements. Regulated healthcare professionals will need to meet the standards of education and training set by their profession’s regulator, for example the General Medical Council or Nursing and Midwifery Council.
