Free Care Certificate e-learning programme for health and care workforce

Posted on: July 16th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) is reminding the health and care workforce about the free elearning programme that supports the theoretical standards of the Care Certificate.

The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that the health and care workforce adhere to in their daily working life. The Care Certificate was developed to provide structured and consistent learning to ensure that care workers have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe, quality care and support.

The Care Certificate consists of 15 standards, all of which individuals need to complete in full before they can be awarded their certificate. The standards require both theoretical study and practical application within the student’s place of work.

The Care Certificate elearning programme has been developed to further support the theoretical component of each standard of the Care Certificate, and is freely available to staff in the health and care sectors. It is based on the Care Certificate workbook, which was developed by Health Education England, Skills for Care and Skills for Health.

New e-learning programme to help healthcare staff understand NHS e-Referral Service

Posted on: July 11th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

The NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) is a national NHS IT system that enables patient referrals, primarily from GPs to first hospital or clinic appointments, to be booked in to health care services at a location, date and time to suit the patient.

e-RS allows patients to choose their initial hospital or clinic appointment, book it in the GP surgery at the point of referral or book it themselves online or via a national telephone line. Patients can then cancel or change the appointment if required. It enables clinicians to provide the best care in the most appropriate place, transforms the referral process and improves the patient journey.

Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked with NHS Digital to develop learning content that will give NHS and healthcare staff a better understanding of e-RS and the functionality that is available to them. It will also show the benefits of using the system for both patients and professionals and how it can be used to support a streamlined referral process.

Content will continue to be developed by NHS Digital to expand the e-RS resources available to end users.

Further information and guidance on the e-RS programme can be found on the NHS website: https://digital.nhs.uk/e-Referral-Service/

For more information about e-RS and how to access the programme please visit: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/e-referrals/

e-Learning programme launched to prepare staff for new proton beam therapy centres

Posted on: July 9th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

A new elearning programme to support education and training of staff in preparation for the opening of the first NHS proton beam therapy (PBT) centres in the UK is now available.

The Proton Beam Therapy programme, eProton, has been designed for all staff groups working in NHS radiotherapy and related services, especially those in referral or support centres. Each elearning session contains interactive content which delivers the educational objectives using a variety of techniques, including animations and video.

Topics covered include the history of proton beam therapy, clinical indications and side effects, physical characteristics and generation of proton beams, treatment planning and delivery, radiation protection, along with the multi-disciplinary patient pathway.

Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked in partnership with the Royal College of Radiologists, the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine and the College of Radiographers to develop the programme.

Since 2008, NHS patients with selected indications believed most likely to benefit from PBT have received treatment overseas. However, the NHS has commissioned two UK PBT centres, at The Christie in Manchester (opening mid-2018) and at University College Hospital in London (opening 2020). A number of private centres are also planned. As the UK centres open, more patients who are likely to benefit will have access to PBT.

New Clinical Risk Management e-learning modules launched

Posted on: June 21st, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

A series of new modules have been launched to support the Clinical Risk Management elearning programme. The modules have been created by NHS Digital’s Clinical Safety team and Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh).

The programme is designed to support health and social care organisations, as well as Health IT manufacturers with safety, risk management and risk mitigation training.

This is all delivered within the context of Health IT by implementing the safety standards, SCCI 0129 and SCCI 0160.

These safety standards bring clinical risk management and the need for clinical safety cases to the forefront of the development and use of Health IT systems.

Module 1 – ‘Clinical Risk Management Training’ comprises seven sessions and one assessment session.

Module 2 – The ‘Community of Interest’ has recently been added to the elearning programme and is an area where people can find knowledge and share good practice. This is aimed at individuals working within Health IT, including manufacturers and health organisations. The module comprises the following three sessions:

  • Session 1 – SMART
  • Session 2 – Apps and Wearables
  • Session 3 – Software as a Medical Device.

Module 3 – includes two best practice sessions on telehealth and safety critical systems. These sessions are designed for health and social care organisations.

The course is designed for clinical and non-clinical staff who need to gain an understanding of the clinical risk management activities undertaken during the design and/or implementation of a Health IT system to support the implementation of SCCI 0129 and 0160. This includes clinicians, managers, developers and testers.

The programme is available to access via the elfh Hub and the Electronic Staff Record.

Sexual Orientation Monitoring Information Standard e-learning now live

Posted on: June 20th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England, the LGBT Foundation and Stonewall have worked in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare to develop an elearning programme to provide health and social care staff with an introduction to the Sexual Orientation Monitoring Information Standard.

The elearning programme sets out why the Standard was introduced in adult health and social care services, explains some of the health inequalities experienced by lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) communities and explores the benefits of monitoring.

The first principle of the NHS Constitution is the commitment to a comprehensive health and social care service, available to all irrespective of personal background. By recognising that every patient has different needs and circumstances, people working in health and social care services can deliver a personal form of care, which recognises diversity, improves outcomes, and addresses health inequalities. Wider patterns or inequalities can also be identified.

The Sexual Orientation Monitoring Information Standard will enable health and social care organisations to monitor in a way that is consistent across the adult health and social care system.

The elearning programme is available to access via the elfh Hub and ESR.

For more information about the programme please visit: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/sexual-orientation-monitoring-information-standard/.

support to the programme.

Doctors in Training Induction Programme

Posted on: June 14th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

A national online induction programme for doctors in training will become available later this month.

The Doctors in Training Induction Programme incorporates key relevant clinical topics which support doctors in training with the additional competencies needed as part of their induction to provide high quality patient care. The programme format involves three ‘patient journey’ scenarios each with an assessment.

The programme has been developed by Health Education England after consultation and input from experts including Foundation Doctors, Foundation School Directors and Clinical Leads, which shaped the structure and themes of the scenarios.

These scenarios focus on practical and professional skills as doctors in training enter the wards. The accuracy of the stories is enforced by using real staff and locations within the films and the stories were regularly checked throughout production, for plausibility and against learning objectives, with subject matter experts and doctors in training.

The programme team believe that using the stories in the settings the doctors in training will be working in is an effective way to share and embed the induction content with the learners.

The scenarios will cover the following topics:

  • Blood Transfusion and Consent
  • Safe Prescribing and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
  • Mental Capacity Act & Death Certification.

The new induction elearning programme will be available from the end of June 2018, via the elearning for healthcare Hub, the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and some local Learning Management Systems via AICC links.

The new induction resource will be able to be used in conjunction with the existing statutory and mandatory programme.  For more information on this programme please visit: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/statutory-and-mandatory-training/.

For more information about the programme please email tel@hee.nhs.uk.
