ComplyPlus™ Presents: Navigating Health and Social Care Compliance

Train the Trainer: Pros & Cons

In this new episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, we continue the conversation on Train the Trainer by exploring the real pros, cons, and practical realities of in-house training models. Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle share insights from over a decade of experience working with regulated organisations, explaining why Train the Trainer is so widely used across sectors and why it often fails when not properly structured. We discuss the key benefits, such as scalability, cost efficiency, and internal control, as well as the common pitfalls, including poor governance, inconsistent delivery, and a false sense of compliance. The episode also breaks down what good training actually looks like in practice, from building internal capability and standardising delivery to ensuring quality assurance and continuous improvement. If you're responsible for training, compliance, or workforce development, this episode provides a clear, honest look at how to make Train the Trainer work effectively and what to avoid. #TrainTheTrainer #Compliance #WorkforceDevelopment #LearningAndDevelopment #HealthcareTraining #LMS #ComplyPlus #Podcast

AI in Health & Social Care Training: Hype vs Reality

In this episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle explore one of the most talked-about topics in health and social care today: artificial intelligence. As AI becomes more prominent in discussions around governance, compliance, workforce development and digital transformation, many providers are asking what it can actually do and whether they need it in their systems. This episode looks at where AI can genuinely add value, including learning support, training analytics, content development and decision support. It also highlights the key risks, from data protection breaches and inaccurate outputs to poor digital literacy, over-reliance on automation and the false belief that AI can fix culture or compliance on its own. Most importantly, the discussion sets out what safe, ethical and practical AI adoption should look like in health and social care, with strong human oversight, verified evidence sources, clear input controls and governance-first thinking. If you are a decision-maker in health and social care, this conversation will help you think more clearly about AI as a tool to support practice, not to replace professional judgement. Is your organisation using AI to strengthen governance, or adding risk under the label of innovation? #ComplyPlusPresents #ArtificialIntelligence #HealthAndSocialCare #DigitalTransformation #Governance #WorkforceDevelopment #AIinHealthcare #Compliance

Health & Care Train the Trainer 2026: Quality Standard + 90-Day Plan

Train the Trainer is too often treated as a certificate rather than a governed system, creating real compliance risk across health and social care. In this new episode of ComplyPlus™, Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle challenge the shortcut mindset and reframe Train the Trainer as part of your core governance infrastructure. They explore why weak standards expose services to risk, why subject expertise and microteaching matter, and why optimism is not governance. The episode also outlines a practical, inspection-ready model, covering trainer selection, defined scope, quality assurance, CPD, and a structured 90-day plan to move from informal delivery to defensible compliance. This episode links to our free live webinar on Tuesday, 03 March 2026 at 7:00 PM UK time. You can book via Eventbrite or our social channels. Places are limited, and there will be practical giveaways to help you implement the quality standard and 90-day plan in your organisation. If your service relies on internal trainers, ask yourself this. Do you have delegation, or do you have assurance?

The New Compliance Software Landscape in Health and Social Care

The compliance software market in UK health and social care is no longer a quiet, practitioner-led space. It is a battleground. Private equity is acquiring trusted brands. Venture capital is consolidating competitors. Marketing budgets are exploding. AI is being promised as the cure for everything. In this new episode, Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle speak candidly about what is really happening behind the scenes. This is not a polite industry update. It is a frank discussion about data, dominance, long contracts, aggressive scaling, and the growing tension between relational care and transactional growth. Does bigger mean better, or simply louder? When compliance becomes a portfolio asset, what happens to the human side of care? And in a sector built on duty of care, should governance systems be driven by lived experience or leveraged capital? If you work in health and social care, governance or digital transformation, this conversation will challenge assumptions about independence, authenticity and what true value looks like in a capital-fuelled market. In a world where visibility is bought and brands are bundled, who is really protecting the integrity of care? #HealthAndSocialCare #ComplianceSoftware #DigitalTransformation #Governance #CareSector #AIinHealthcare #RegulatoryCompliance #IndependentBusiness #Leadership

Beyond Go-Live: Why Compliance Systems Take Time in Health and Social Care

Successful digital transformation in health and social care does not happen when a system goes live.  In this new episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle discuss why implementing regulatory compliance software requires preparation, ownership and ongoing support. They explore the plug and play illusion, digital literacy challenges, unrealistic timelines and the psychology of change. The conversation highlights how rushed rollouts and unclear accountability can stall progress, and why sustainable compliance depends on people, process and persistence. If you work in a regulated environment, adopting new technology, this episode offers practical insight to help you implement systems with clarity and long-term focus. #HealthAndSocialCare #DigitalTransformation #RegulatoryCompliance #CareLeadership #ComplyPlus
