Martyn’s Law: Is your healthcare organisation ready?

Martyn’s Law – officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – is set to transform how UK organisations (with a capacity of 200 or more) approach safety, compliance, and emergency planning.

For the healthcare sector – from NHS hospitals and clinics to community practices and care homes – resilience is critical. Staff need the knowledge and confidence to act swiftly when faced with potential threats, ensuring patient safety, public trust, and preparing for Martyn’s Law requirements.

While statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law training is still forthcoming, healthcare organisations can take proactive steps to prepare. Our course supports early adoption of best practices and helps embed a culture of safety and resilience.
