Get ready to rethink how we verify and value professional capability as Zoe, Michelle and Karen unpack one of the trickiest concepts in healthcare: competency.

Together, they explore how competency needs to be more than a process — it needs to be a conversation. They explore how to move beyond static assessments, how confidence and compliance fit in (or don’t), and what good competency-based education actually looks like.

Let's dive headfirst into the often dreaded but undeniably essential world of mandatory training in healthcare.

Zoe, Michelle, and Karen discuss whether mandatory training truly builds capability or if it's just a checkbox culture driven by regulation and fear of risk.

It's time to move beyond “death by e-learning” and think critically about why we do mandatory training, how it’s measured, and how we can make it meaningful—if not revolutionise it completely.
