Welcome to our online Verification of Death training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
When a patient/resident dies, the registered nurse has a duty to inform the doctor who has been treating them immediately. In the event of expected death, the doctor may pre-arrange to be informed at another time.
Confirmation or verification of death is defined as deciding whether a person is actually deceased. Verification of death can be undertaken by a competent registered nurse in line with their employer’s policies to determine local agreements about the circumstances in which this can be done. In contrast, certification of death is done by a registered medical practitioner.

Click the questions below to reveal more information about the benefits of CPD accreditation.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation benefits both employees and employers. The main advantages are as follows:
Keeping employee skills up-to-date.
Maintaining professional standards.
Building employee confidence.
Enhancing career advancement.
Improving job satisfaction.
Maintaining high standards across the organisation.
Meeting regulatory and legislative requirements.
Improving employee commitment to their jobs.
Sharing best practice across the organisation.
For employees, CPD helps to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date. It also contributes to maintaining the professional standard of their qualifications, registrations and sense of direction.
Moreover, completing CPD helps employees to build their confidence and credibility. It empowers them to showcase their achievements and provides them with tools to cope with change positively.
In most sectors, CPD is beneficial for employees’ career progression and advancement. Many studies have found that evidence of CPD improves career prospects, such as promotions or specialism. In real terms, this means that CPD contributes to achieving job satisfaction and higher salaries.
For employers, the main advantage of CPD is the security of sustaining high standards across the whole organisation. CPD can help ensure consistent standards to meet regulatory and statutory requirements.
It also improves employees’ commitment to their job roles and promotes greater work engagement from the workforce. Organisations that provide CPD, whether concurrently or over some time, allows for the sharing of best practice and support. Also, it contributes to maximising staff potential, improving staff morale and providing a useful benchmark for annual appraisals.
In partnership with The Mandatory Training Group, we offer internationally recognised (Ofqual and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills of the Welsh Government approved) vocational qualifications in the following subjects:

First aid for all sectors

As a recognised training centre for Ofqual and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills approved qualifications, all of our programmes are peer-reviewed and guaranteed to conform to high international standards.
We take steps to ensure that learners who are undertaking our qualifications are given the best support and service.
All our qualifications are developed by industry experts, and are user-friendly and accessible.
Our qualifications are formed with flexibility in mind. Thus, for a large number of programmes, we are able to adapt learning materials and assessment methods to best suit specific sectors in line with current UK legislation and guidance.
Organisations can use our learning materials and assessments as part of their blended learning strategies.
The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) is a non-ministerial government department (HM Government) that regulates qualifications, examinations and tests/assessments in England and, until May 2016, vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland.
Colloquially and publicly, Ofqual is often referred to as the exam “watchdog”.
Ofqual regulates all the awarding bodies in the UK.
The Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills is an established subdivision of the Welsh Government. It is responsible for education, training and children’s services in Wales under powers devolved from the Department for Children, Schools and Families of the UK government under Schedule 5 of the Government of Wales Act 2006.
It is headed by the Minister for Education (Welsh Government).
All our statutory and mandatory training courses for health and social care are aligned to the UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).
With a highly mobile workforce, health and social care employers often need to identify recruits’ previous statutory and mandatory training. Where the training information is lacking, some staff can repeat training unnecessarily, wasting time and money.
The UK CSTF was launched in 2013 to address this issue. It allows health and social care employers to recognise statutory/mandatory training to a standard, trust that information and reduce duplication of training.
