CSTF Statutory and Mandatory Training

All healthcare workers, whether employed on a full time or part-time basis, through an agency or contract bank staff, are required to complete periodic refresher training.

One of the main aims of the CSTF framework is to prevent unnecessary duplication of training.  This is achieved through the accurate recording of training undertaken using a recognised naming convention and the delivery of standardised programmes.
