New Clinical Risk Management e-learning modules launched
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
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/.
Infant Feeding e-learning programme now live
A new elearning programme to support education around the implementation of Baby Friendly standards in healthcare and public healthcare settings has been developed.
The programme is for healthcare professionals who have contact with pregnant women and new mothers. It aims to provide information about the importance of building close and loving relationships with baby during pregnancy and following birth, as well as information around breast and bottle feeding.
Topics covered by the session include:
- Challenges and Culture
- Importance of Breastfeeding
- Importance of Love
- Formula Feeding
- Providing Unbiased Information.
This programme is not intended to replace existing training. Instead it is intended to complement training for those in facilities which are implementing Baby Friendly standards.
It has been developed by Health Education England, elearning for healthcare (elfh) and the National Infant Feeding Network (Yorkshire and Humber). Unicef Baby Friendly Initiative has also given their
support to the programme.
For more information about the Infant Feeding elearning programme and for details of how to access the programme visit: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/infant-feeding/
The elearning programme is available via the elfh Hub and the Electronic Staff Record.
Doctors in Training Induction Programme
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/.

Preventing Radicalisation (Mental Health) Level 3 e-learning module now live
Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked with the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and the Home Office to host a new Preventing Radicalisation (Mental Health) Level 3 elearning module for use by all health and care staff.
The elearning module offers an introduction to the Prevent duty for mental health practitioners and explains how it aims to safeguard vulnerable people from being radicalised to supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists themselves. Completion of the module will provide an important foundation on which to develop further knowledge around the risks of radicalisation and the role that health and care colleagues can play in supporting those at risk. The training addresses all forms of terrorism and non-violent extremism.
Organisations should use the Prevent training and competencies framework to guide them in the completion of a Training Needs Analysis to identify how many staff members are defined as requiring Level 3 safeguarding/Prevent training. Please then consider which additional staff members require Level 3 training, either through the face to face WRAP training, or online via the mental health or generic elearning packages. Both elearning packages meet the Level 3 training competencies for Prevent.
The programmes outlined above can be accessed as follows:
Level 3 Training:
- Face to Face Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent: led by organisational Prevent trainers
- elearning (elearning for healthcare) Preventing Radicalisation Level 3: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Details/511790
- elearning Preventing Radicalisation (Mental Health) Level 3: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Details/523782. This is also available at https://www.elearning.prevent.homeoffice.gov.uk/mentalhealth
Mental health practitioners should use the Preventing Radicalisation (Mental Health) module that has been specifically developed for this professional group. The generic Preventing Radicalisation module can be used by all members of the health and care workforce.
The programme is available on a NHS compatible platform which means completion of the programme can now be tracked if working in a health and care setting.

e-LPRAS team demonstrate the programme
Members of the team that work on the Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE e-LFH) elearning Programme for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (e-LPRAS) recently supported the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) with its Advanced Educational Course on ‘Limb Reconstruction’.
The event, which took place at the Manchester Conference Centre last month, was very well attended and included a mix of both practical demonstrations and traditional lectures.
Delegates were invited to complete a selection of e-LPRAS sessions as pre-course and/or post-course reading. Session topics included ‘Chronic Osteomyelitis in the Lower Limb’, ‘Acute Compartment Syndrome in the Lower Limb’ and ‘Management of Bone Loss in Open Fractures of the Lower Limb’.
Team members also manned a dedicated e-LPRAS stand in the exhibitors’ area, allowing them to gather feedback, register new users and spread the word about new developments on the project.
Stephen Gibbons, elfh Project Manager said, “As the e-LPRAS project grows, face-to-face events such as these remain vital. They provide an important opportunity for team members to connect with our users and for the project to demonstrate its commitment to the educational role of BAPRAS. Thanks to Kavita Prashar and the rest of the BAPRAS team for helping to make it happen.”
Further BAPRAS Advanced Educational Courses on topics such as ‘Cleft, Craniofacial and Ear Reconstruction’ and ‘Skin Oncology’ are planned for later this year and for early 2019.
