Training For Specialist Nurses In The UK 

Training for specialist nurses in the UK is vital to ensure excellent patient care. It also ensures our registered agency staff maintain their NMC Revalidation and continuously develop their skills. Mayfair Nursing Agency has partnered with reputable providers to supply vital training for nurses across the UK. As a proud member of the A24Group, we have negotiated reduced fees for nurses to complete their training.   

Mandatory Training Courses For Nurses

Nurses and support workers must complete life support and moving and handling training as a fundamental compliance requirement. These trainings are non-negotiable as they align with our clients' requirements. We provide various packages that include basic life support and moving and handling courses, both of which are mandatory courses to practice as a nurse in the UK. We encourage you to register to work with us and sign up for the training. This will not only open up new shift opportunities but also potentially lead to higher pay rates per shift.

  • Our offerings encompass CSTF aligned, practical life support training, as well as moving and handling training. It's crucial to note that both of these courses are mandatory requirements for any work with any of our clients. To make it more accessible, we have partnered with the following training providers who offer discounted rates for booking your training.
