New resource supports community pharmacy to help identify possible cancer symptoms

Posted on: September 23rd, 2022 by Louise Garrahan No Comments

A new elearning programme to help community pharmacists identify and respond to patients’ possible cancer symptoms is now available on Health Education England elearning for healthcare’s (HEE elfh) Hub.

The NHS Long-Term Plan sets out a new ambition that, by 2028, the proportion of cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 will rise from around half now to 3 quarters of cancer patients. Achieving this will mean that, from 2028, 55,000 more people each year will survive their cancer for at least 5 years after diagnosis.

Let’s Communicate Cancer focuses on the contribution of community pharmacy to the early diagnosis of cancer, where patients come to the pharmacy for help in managing symptoms that they do not realise may be cancer, such as diarrhoea or a long-standing cough. Pharmacies can advise when it might be something more serious and where it is best to get them checked out.

The programme, developed by the British Oncology Pharmacy Association (BOPA), features 4 modules which cover the following topics:

  • early diagnosis and prevention
  • what is cancer?
  • treatment for cancer
  • supporting your patients with cancer

There is also a resource bank within the programme which features links to some lead cancer organisations such as British Oncology Pharmacy Association, Cancer Research UK and Macmillan, published articles and posters, and cancer campaign materials and several quizzes to test learners’ knowledge.

On completion of the programme, learners will be more familiar and aware of symptoms that may be suggestive of cancer and understand how lifestyle factors contribute to cancer. The programme also provides useful hints and tips to support conversations with patients, encouraging referral to the GP where appropriate.

Updated and refreshed Five Ways to Wellbeing module

Posted on: September 21st, 2022 by Rebecca Tinnion No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) in partnership with the HEE Long Term Conditions and Prevention programme team are delighted to relaunch the Five Ways to Wellbeing module on the Making Every Contact Count (MECC) programme page.

Five Ways to Wellbeing is a standardised framework, containing a set of evidence-based actions to help improve people’s wellbeing. Originally developed in 2008 by the New Economics Foundation (NEF), Five Ways to Wellbeing is part of the wider MECC approach and encourages individuals to improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing through five acts:

  1. connect
  2. be active
  3. keep learning
  4. give
  5. take notice

Individuals who work across health, care, local authority, and emergency services may recognise the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework for public health intervention.
This elearning module is designed to provide information on Five Ways to Wellbeing and support learners to use their public facing roles to improve population mental and physical health and wellbeing.

The recent update includes the addition of new case studies, and a wider review of content to ensure the elearning reflects latest policy and clinical practice.

Inspiring wellbeing through five simple steps, this module underpins existing MECC approaches by highlighting the importance of everyday interactions. On completion of the module, learners should be able to define the term “wellbeing” and appreciate the links between wellbeing and health.  Learners should also feel confident about using the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework to support their practice of MECC.

To access more information about MECC, including the recently updated Five Ways to Wellbeing module, please visit the Making Every Contact Count programme page.

Making Every Contact Count Toolkit now available

Posted on: August 24th, 2022 by Rebecca Tinnion No Comments

The Long Term Conditions and Prevention programme team in Health Education England have worked with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh), to develop a Making Every Contact Count (MECC) toolkit.

The toolkit is populated with reviewed resources and information previously hosted on the making every contact count microsite and aims to support individual learners and organisations to use MECC effectively.

MECC is an approach to behaviour change that utilises the millions of day-to-day interactions that organisations and people have with other people to encourage changes in behaviour that have a positive effect on the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities and populations.

The wider MECC elearning programme, consisting of 4 elearning sessions, supports learners with developing an understanding of public health, emphasising how asking questions and listening effectively to people is a vital role for us all.

The new toolkit compliments existing elearning sessions by bringing together a library of national and local resources to further support the development, evaluation and implementation of MECC.

Containing more than 130 new resources, this toolkit has been structured so you can either use it whole or select relevant sections to revisit over time.

You can read more about the toolkit, including how to access it, by visiting the Making Every Contact Count programme page.

New survey launches for the NHS Continuing Healthcare resource after programme review

Posted on: August 24th, 2022 by Rebecca Tinnion No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) and NHS England have made important updates to the NHS Continuing Healthcare programme.

The programme aims to assist all those in the health and social care workforce, who are involved in administration, assessments, care planning, reviews and decision making around NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and want to consolidate their learning or gain a better understanding of CHC.

Following feedback from colleagues and the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, a large scale review has taken place to ensure the resource reflects current practice and guidance. A total of 18 sessions have been updated as part of this process, and a further review is due from September 2022.

We encourage anyone who has completed the CHC elearning to provide feedback on the sessions content to support ongoing evaluation and review.

New sessions added to Population Health Management elearning programme

Posted on: August 16th, 2022 by Louise Garrahan No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with NHS England and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) to add 3 new sessions to the Population Health Management elearning programme.

The new sessions complement 5 existing modules in the programme, which is designed to support analysts and other health and care professionals working in population health to build their knowledge and skills within the area of population health management (PHM).

The 3 elearning sessions that have recently been developed are:

  • Data visualisation – users will understand the principles of good data visualisation for charts and maps
  • Knowledge to action – supporting users to understand how to get data and evidence into the hands of decision makers through the K2A essentials toolkit
  • Health episode statistics – new users of the hospital episode statistics data set will be introduced to the functions and ways to interrogate the system within this module

The COVID-19 response to date has highlighted the pivotal role of PHM, with primary and secondary care providers needing to risk stratify and proactively support key population groups with personalised care models. PHM will become increasingly important as systems move to the reset phase where they will need the appropriate insights to make judgments about restarting non-urgent elective care.

The PHM elearning modules introduce the PHM approach as well as the role of needs assessment and segmentation, providing a useful grounding to support colleagues in their endeavour to support population health during COVID-19 and thereafter.

New online training supports the delivery of personalised care for people with long-term conditions

Posted on: August 10th, 2022 by Kieron Bradshaw No Comments

A new elearning programme is available to help health and care staff deliver more personalised care to people with long-term conditions. The programme, developed by Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh), focuses on personalised care, support planning, prehabilitation and rehabilitation.

As multimorbidity becomes more prevalent, meeting the needs of people with long-term conditions is one of the biggest challenges facing the NHS. More than 15 million people in England are living with a long-term condition, and in many cases people have more than one, resulting in poorer quality of life and a greater risk of premature death. Treatment and care for these conditions can also use up to 70% of acute and primary care budgets.

A personalised approach to care and support is vital to ensure that people’s needs are fully identified and planned for, taking their strengths and developed abilities into account.

A range of topics are explored in the new elearning sessions, including:

  • key theoretical principles underpinning prehabilitation screening, assessment, and interventions
  • the impact of rehabilitation interventions on the needs and symptoms of patients
  • the role of multidisciplinary teams (in particular, allied health professionals), in supporting people with long-term conditions.

The PRosPer elearning programme was originally developed by Health Education England and Macmillan Cancer Support, to help improve personalised care and support planning for people with cancer.

Since developing the initial elearning programme, it has been recognised that much of the content could be helpful for staff caring for patients with a range of long-term conditions. It has now been developed to apply to this broader patient group.

Anybody who provides care or treatment for people with long-term conditions will find this training helpful.

More sessions will be added later in 2022, and we will provide an update when they are available.
