Realistic scenarios are used to help learners understand how consent applies in day-to-day healthcare practice.

This Medical Consent Training course is ideal for anyone working or aspiring to work in healthcare, social care, or support roles where patient interaction is essential. By completing this Level 3 CPD course, learners will strengthen their legal awareness, ethical decision-making, and professional confidence, while enhancing their CV and demonstrating a strong commitment to patient-centred care and compliance.
