HEE e-LfH COVID-19 vaccination programme launches hit 2 million

Posted on: March 4th, 2021 by Leanne Hargreaves No Comments

Health Education England’s elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) COVID-19 Vaccination programme has passed the milestone of 2 million session launches since going live.

The elfh COVID-19 vaccination elearning programme continues to be an essential part of the vaccination recruitment and training process.  Health and care colleagues are using the resource to develop the knowledge needed to confidently promote high uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine and deliver the vaccination programme effectively.

The programme consists of a core knowledge session, the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 Pfizer-BioNTech session, the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca session and accompanying assessment sessions for each.  New elearning sessions will be added as each new vaccine becomes available.

Since the COVID-19 vaccination programme went live, the content has been updated and amended as more information about the vaccines and the vaccine programme has become available. Further details about the recent updates can be found on the elfh news page.

The wealth of COVID-19 resources available on elfh, including the vaccination elearning, remain free to access by people working in the NHS, the healthcare sector, the independent sector and social care. The online learning resources have proved invaluable to new, existing and returning staff, particularly where traditional learning environments have been unavailable.

More details about the vaccination content can be found on the elfh COVID-19 vaccination programme page.

New video group clinics e-learning programme available

Posted on: March 2nd, 2021 by Rachel Gowland No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement, ELC Works and Redmoor Health are delighted to launch their new Video Group Clinics (VGC) programme; which includes new elearning resources and a toolkit developed for GPs, practice nurses, health and care professionals in community settings and care homes.

The elearning resources support the introduction of video group clinics in different settings by providing learners with an overview and working knowledge of video group clinics and consultations: including the benefits, delivery principles and outcomes of introducing this practice.

Why implement video group clinics?

Combining group consultation and video clinics aims to build a sense of community and facilitate peer support, while enabling health and care teams to stay connected in supporting those with long term conditions, who are in need of regular reviews and are vulnerable to infection. Video group consultations and clinics can be delivered in a single session, or as part of an extended programme of care and support.

About the elearning resources

  • Session 1: Considering video group clinics.
  • Session2: setting up a video group clinic.
  • Educationalvideos and animations.
  • Dedicated video group clinics toolkit.

Learners are required to complete elearning session 1 before session 2, which has been designed to build and assess knowledge about the VGC competency.

The sessions take approximately 20 minutes to complete, and learners can expect educational videos and animations. Certificates are available after the completion of each session.

Additional support

There are a number of additional resources available to those interested in video group clinics, including the Digital First Primary Care and Primary Care Networks within the FutureNHS collaboration platform (sign-up/log-in needed) and the Total Triage elearning which is based on the Total Triage blueprint.
