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.

As a proud member of the A24Group, we have negotiated reduced fees for nurses to complete their training.

URGENT: To avoid delays in updating your compliance status, please register for these packages using the exact same email address linked to your Staffshift profile. Failure to do so will result in manual processing and potential delays in certificate uploads.

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. Please feel free to utilize these partnerships to book your training:
