Legal training for the public and private health sectors in Ireland

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.

Our training programmes cover 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.
