Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has added the elfh Hub and its thousands of elearning sessions to the list of OpenAthens resources to make it easier for certain groups of the health and social care workforce to access elfh’s elearning.

HEE elfh works in partnership with the NHS and professional bodies to support patient care by providing elearning to educate and train the health and social care workforce.

HEE elfh’s programmes cover subjects from audiology to anaesthesia, dentistry to dermatology, electronic fetal monitoring to end of life care, primary care to prescribing, safeguarding children to statutory and mandatory training. All content is nationally quality-assured and available 24/7. The online training sessions enhance traditional learning, support existing teaching methods and provide a valuable reference point.

OpenAthens is a service that allows people to access a series of online resources free of charge with just a single OpenAthens account.

The OpenAthens eligibility criteria, which are managed by NICE, cover anyone working directly with NHS patients and anyone working directly on the development and/or delivery of training materials for either NHS staff or NHS patients within an organisation that provides NHS-commissioned care or commissions care for NHS patients in England.

Improved acute NIV delivery

Posted on: July 25th, 2016 by Frankie

A new elearning programme has been developed to help improve the delivery of acute non-invasive ventilation (NIV).

In addition to improving the delivery of acute NIV care the programme, which elfh has developed in partnership with Kent Surrey Sussex Academic Health Science Network, also aims to reduce mortality and promote patient safety by encouraging better adherence to guidelines. The elearning standardises and improves the competencies of healthcare professionals involved in the provision of acute NIV care by creating new NIV training material and establishing and monitoring its delivery.

The elearning programme also includes a guidance document on practical acute NIV which details the competency assessment for the practical session, a guide to completion of the practical session and case studies and supplementing documentation.

Seen and Heard: e-learning for Child Sexual Abuse Awareness.

Posted on: July 20th, 2016 by Frankie No Comments

Sadly, too often the signs that children and young people are being sexually abused or exploited are being missed because healthcare professionals don’t know what to look for. That’s why the Department of Health and leading national charity The Children’s Society have worked together to develop a new, interactive eLearning course designed to help healthcare staff spot the signs of child sexual abuse and exploitation. One hour of your time could make a vital difference to a child’s whole life. The online course was developed with children and young people and based on their experiences and features powerful drama about a young boy called Tyler.

The course will give you the skills to know what to look for when you come into contact with a child or young person.

For more information or to take the course, enrol on the elfh Hub or visit www.seenandheard.org.uk.

e-Learning launched for NHS staff about raising concerns

Posted on: July 19th, 2016 by Frankie No Comments

Health Education England’s elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) team has developed an elearning session to equip healthcare staff with the knowledge and confidence to raise concerns.

In response to concerns about culture in the NHS, the Secretary of State for Health commissioned Sir Robert Francis to carry out an independent review.  The review recommended that every NHS organisation should provide training on the value of speaking up which complies with national standards.

This elearning session will act as a helpful resource to current and future healthcare staff by promoting all relevant policies, procedures, best practice and available support in relation to raising concerns. It teaches NHS staff the value of speaking up and highlights what support is available. Speaking up about wrongdoing at the earliest opportunity can save lives, prevent harm and protect organisational reputation.

In addition two education and training films have been developed – “Raising Concerns” and “Responding to Concerns.”  The films, which complement the elearning, support healthcare professionals to feel empowered to raise and respond to concerns.

To access the elearning session visit: http://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/freedom-to-speak-up/

e-Learning launched to encourage healthcare professionals to “Think Sepsis”

Posted on: July 15th, 2016 by Frankie No Comments

We are pleased to confirm that Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh), in partnership with the Royal College of General Practitioners, has launched an elearning programme for healthcare professionals about sepsis.

“Think Sepsis” aims to improve the diagnosis and early management of sepsis in primary care.  The elearning includes five sessions:

  • Session 1 – Overview of Sepsis
  • Session 2 – Adult Sepsis
  • Session 3 – Childhood Sepsis
  • Session 4 – Complex Sepsis Issues and Future Development
  • Session 5 – Sepsis, Care Homes and the Frail Elderly.

Every year 123,000 cases of sepsis occur in England and there are approximately 37,000 deaths.   Prompt recognition of sepsis and rapid intervention will help reduce the number of deaths occurring annually.

The elearning programme has been developed for GPs and healthcare professionals working in primary care including nurses, health visitors, midwives, pharmacists and paramedics. “Think Sepsis” follows the recommendations of the new NICE guideline on sepsis recognition, diagnosis and early management which were launched this week.

To complement the elearning programme a film has also been developed.  The short film features the story of Jason Watkins and Clara Francis who tragically lost their daughter Maude aged just three to undiagnosed sepsis in 2011. The film highlights the key signs that healthcare workers should be looking out for and asks them to think: ‘could this be sepsis?’ when assessing and diagnosing patients.

To view the film and access the elearning visit the elfh website: www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/sepsis
