Why Video Is Crucial for Healthcare Staff Training
In a fast-evolving healthcare environment, consistency, clarity and efficiency in training are more important than ever. That’s where video training for healthcare is changing the game.
From onboarding new recruits to upskilling experienced clinicians, video enables healthcare organisations to train staff quickly, effectively and at scale. It’s flexible, repeatable, and far more engaging than manuals or lectures alone. At Inspired Film & Video, we’ve supported NHS Trusts, care providers, and medical suppliers with medical video production that looks great and delivers real results.
The Benefits of Video Training for Healthcare
Hospitals and clinics are high-pressure environments. Time is tight, shifts vary, and training needs to be accessible, flexible, and up-to-date. That’s why many organisations are turning to hospital staff video resources to deliver consistent knowledge across teams.
- Consistency: Every staff member receives the same high-quality, standardised instruction.
- Accessibility: Content can be watched at any time. Ideal for shift-based and remote teams.
- Retention: People remember 95% of a message when it’s delivered in video, compared to just 10% when reading it.
- Scalability: Train new staff, locums, and temporary teams without repeating sessions.
And because video is visual and auditory, it caters to different learning styles while reducing training time overall.
Real-World Training Applications
We’ve worked on a wide range of staff training videos for NHS partners, care providers, and healthcare educators. Common training themes include:
- Using new medical devices or technologies
- Clinical processes and best practice walkthroughs
- Patient care protocols and bedside manner
- Systems and software tutorials (e.g., EPR, e-rostering)
- Infection control, safeguarding and data protection
Example: We created a series of short training films for CaringforCare to support their clinical training delivery. These concise, clear videos help carers and professionals retain key information effectively. Watch an example here 🎬.
Patient-Facing Explainers as Training Tools
While traditionally aimed at patients, healthcare explainer videos are often repurposed as part of staff training. For example, our Total Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement videos are used to brief new staff on patient experience expectations 🎬.
Seeing things from a patient’s perspective via an explainer or patient testimonial videos helps frontline staff deliver more compassionate and informed care.
Our Approach to Medical Video Production
At Inspired, we manage every aspect of medical video production in-house—from scripting and filming to editing and subtitling. Our videos are designed to be:
- Accessible – with subtitles, language options, and British Sign Language if required
- Reusable – ideal for e-learning platforms, inductions, and annual refreshers
- On-brand – matching your trust’s identity and tone of voice
- Effective – based on your objectives, KPIs, and real-world outcomes
Example: For Deaflinks Staffordshire, we produced a training film designed to raise awareness of communication barriers and inclusive practices in healthcare. View the film here 🎬 to see how accessible video content can empower both staff and patients.
And we make the entire process an enjoyable experience—collaborative, professional, and always aligned to your goals.
