As a Healthcare professional you have a responsibility to provide care that complies with legal and ethical standards. To ensure that you and your teams understand your legal obligations and can provide safe and effective care to your patients, legal training is essential.

This training covers relevant legislation, such as the Medical Practitioners Act, the Data Protection Act, and the Mental Health Act, as well as important topics like consent, confidentiality, and reporting adverse events. By attending legal training, healthcare professionals can reduce their risk of legal and disciplinary action, as professional bodies have the power to investigate complaints and take disciplinary action against those who breach their obligations.

La Touche Training is Ireland’s leading legal training provider, we offer a variety of legal-skills training courses to ensure professionals comply with best practice standards. Our expert witness courses are designed for healthcare, medical, and social professionals who may be called upon to provide expert testimony in legal proceedings. We work extensively with HSE regions, Private & Public Hospitals and Health Organisations, Nursing Homes, Emergency Services, Mental Health Services, as well as many regulatory bodies.

Risk Investigator, eBay

I recently completed the BTEC 5 in Cyber Investigations and found the entire experience delightful.

The level of detail and information delivered by the very knowledgeable trainers was second to none. The training team are available for additional support when needed and happy to answer any questions throughout the training. After completing the course I feel confident to use the new skills and knowledge I acquired which I am already seeing positively impacting my current role. I would highly recommend the course, tutors and La Touche Training if you are looking to develop your skills and understanding of Cyber Investigations.

I highly recommend Adrian, Judy his trainer and his wider team in La Touche Training, for their professionalism, client engagement and organisational approach.

My partner Anne Lyne and I attended a bespoke investigation workshop over a two-day training period this year, enabling us to enhance our skills when conducting workplace investigations. The course was hosted by a trained solicitor, Ms Judy Peters, who works with La Touche Training to host many training programmes in the public and civil service and other organisations. La Touche Training covered a wide range of investigation-related topics, including preparing terms of reference, collecting evidence, taking witness statements, honing cross examination skills, and report writing. Anne and I found the intensive, interactive nature of the workshop between Judy and the two of us really helpful. We were able to share our experiences of how we have dealt with different investigations (on a “no names” basis) and Judy shared with us her guidance as to options to address a myriad of workplace investigation issues. It was impeccable. I highly recommend this workplace investigation skills programme to others who have experience in this area but want to develop their knowledge and training further.
