Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has been working with subject matter experts to undertake a review of 48 sessions within the General Practice 2012 Curriculum (e-GP) elearning Programme. To date 29 sessions have now been successfully reviewed and updated with 19 sessions remaining to assess.

This review includes elearning modules covering the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) curriculum such as Genetics in Primary Care, Care of People with Intellectual Disability, End of Life Care and others.

The sessions are being rewritten and updated by the RCGP and will be released to the HEE elfh Hub. In addition, all sessions containing video content are now being updated with transcripts and subtitles.

The e-GP resource provides a programme of elearning modules covering the RCGP curriculum. Each module is made up of reflective and interactive elearning sessions that enhance GP training and support preparation for appraisal and revalidation.

Posted on: November 8th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

elearning for healthcare sessions in Foundation: Professional Capability: 19 Makes patient safety a priority in clinical practice

Foundation specific elearning is developed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) and is approved by UKFPO.

The drive for quality in the NHS has patient safety at its heart. The elearning sessions in ‘Professional Capability: 19 Makes patient safety a priority in clinical practice’ concentrate on safe practice and what to do when things go wrong.

It begins with an interactive case study where learners diagnose and treat a patient, then evaluate the management plan. Moving on, learners examine safe personal working practices when treating patients. The session also looks at the management of febrile illnesses, infection control and disease notification. The focus then shifts to the importance of maintaining the learners’ own health, both physical and mental.

Finally, the sessions look at the building blocks that support quality and safety in the NHS, including how to raise concerns about patient safety, team working, clinical governance, patient outcome and experience.

  • Infection Control: Diarrhoea in an Inpatient
  • An Underperforming Colleague – What To Do

Perinatal Mental Health Competency Framework

Posted on: November 8th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England (HEE) has worked with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust to develop a skills based competency framework for all staff working to support mothers and families across the perinatal care pathway, from preconception to postnatal care.

The framework is designed to increase awareness of perinatal mental health disorders and associated care skills while supporting advanced and specialist practice. Competencies are the skills, knowledge and behaviours that deliver high quality care and enable the continuous improvement of services. The framework has been developed to standardise competencies for perinatal mental health practice across England, thus helping to ensure the workforce is confident and suitably skilled to identify need and deliver care to women who have mental health problems during the perinatal period. This will thereby increase access to appropriate evidence-based specialist treatment.

This framework lists several competencies over separate domains and is divided into categories for different types of healthcare worker; including those who have limited or infrequent contact as well as those who work in specialist perinatal services. Over time, this competency framework may be used for recruitment, training and development, and discussions about career progression.

New courses added to Shared Decision Making e-learning programme

Posted on: October 12th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) and the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge to add new content to the Shared Decision Making elearning programme.

The Shared Decision Making elearning programme is aimed at healthcare professionals, health improvement personnel and patient engagement representatives to inform and educate them on Shared Decision Making in order to embed it in day to day clinical practice.

Two new courses Communicating Risk – Primary Care and Perioperative Medicine – have been added to the programme alongside the existing courses – Guidance on Shared Decision Making, Dialogues in Shared Decision Making and Talking about What Matters.

The Communicating Risk course has two versions; one for primary care professionals and one for perioperative medicine professionals. Each course is designed to help clinicians develop skills for communicating effectively with patients about the risks and benefits of treatment options. Each course consists of four sessions and will take approximately two hours to complete, with each session taking approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Each version of the course includes examples taken either from primary care or perioperative medicine. It includes self-test questions and video consultation case-studies.

By the end of each course, participants will be able to:

* describe why it is important for clinicians to effectively communicate benefits, harms, trade-offs and uncertainties with patients
* explain the inter-relationship between shared decision making, evidence-based medicine and patient-centred care in the context of communicating benefits and
* list key communication skills needed when talking with patients about evidence
* explain how to effectively communicate statistical information to patients
* outline the role of decision support tools, potential uses and where to locate them.

The Communicating Risk course was originally commissioned by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care and has been licensed to the AoMRC as part of Choosing Wisely UK. It has been adapted for the UK by the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge.

To access the Primary Care course select: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Details/543267 and to access the Perioperative Medicine course select: https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Details/529401.
