New Yorkshire & Humber Care Records programme now available
Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the Yorkshire & Humber Care Record (YHCR) Academy to develop a new elearning programme to help people learn about the YHCR and support teams through adoption and best practice of the YHCR solution.
The YHCR was established to enable GPs, doctors, nurses and care practitioners to access and share up-to-date patient information, care plans, test results and prescribed medications by collating the information held by multiple health and care settings. Not only does it mean valuable time is saved by patients not having to repeat information, but it also ensures that care decisions are well informed, resulting in safer, more joined up care. It also enables information to be in one place and reduces the paperwork within care organisations.
Following the success of the YHCR, this new programme has been developed to support the health and social care workforce in their ambition to be self-sufficient when assessing and deploying shared care record capabilities and to increase the pace at which adoption can be achieved.
The programme explains how shared care records play a role in supporting a person’s health and wellbeing, why programmes such as the Yorkshire & Humber Care Record were established, and how to commission and deploy shared care record solutions
To complement this elearning programme, the YHCR team also provides access to the LinkedIn Learning Platform showcasing a range of video courses, taught by industry experts, on topics related to the adoption of the YHCR. Please contact the team at YHCR for access to these additional resources.

Updated Physical Activity and Health elearning programme
Health Education England e-learning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities to refresh the content in the Physical Health and Activity elearning programme.
Physical activity is one of the most important tools in the healthcare professional’s toolkit for condition management. It can lead to improved clinical outcomes in over 30 different chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several cancers
This updated elearning course prepares GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals to champion the benefits of physical activity with their patients, and in doing so, help prevent and/or manage a number of health conditions.
The eleven elearning modules identify the benefits of physical activity and explore the ways in which it can be applied to prevent and manage health conditions. The course familiarises the learner with how physical activity can benefit a number of different population groups including, children, pregnant women and older people as well as considering musculoskeletal health, the CMO guidelines and how to use motivational techniques to encourage behaviour change in patients.
An Introduction to Physical Activity and Health is also available in the elearning programme. To read more about the resources, please visit the programme page.
