Health Education England’s elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) programme has reached the significant milestone of one million users on the HEE elfh Hub!
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 care workforce.
All content is nationally quality-assured and available free of charge. HEE elfh programmes are developed for their potential to make maximum impact on the quality of care that users of the Hub deliver, including the entire health and care workforce, teachers, volunteers, local government and public health colleagues
HEE elfh’s programmes provide an “anytime, anywhere” learning opportunity for those working in health and care. All content is created by a team of experts including a clinical lead to ensure the resource is accurately mapped to the relevant curriculum. Many programmes also include an e-assessment option providing learners and trainers with evidence of progress.
There are currently more than 210 elearning programmes being developed and delivered, comprising more than 24,000 elearning sessions. The sessions are delivered in partnership with professional bodies, including Royal Colleges and associations, NHS organisations, charities and other health and care organisations.
The elearning programmes cover subjects from audiology to anaesthesia, dentistry to dermatology, emergency medicine to end of life care, primary care to prescribing, safeguarding children to statutory and mandatory training.
All HEE elfh’s programmes are available via the HEE elfh Hub, with most also being available via the Electronic Staff Record. HEE elfh programmes are also available via OpenAthens meaning that anyone who is entitled to an OpenAthens account can access the content free of charge. Some HEE elfh programmes are also available internationally via eIntegrity.
The HEE elfh Hub records user activity, enabling users to run reports on their learning activity and build a transferable life-long learning portfolio.
Martin Sinclair, Programme Lead, Health Education England elearning for healthcare, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have reached the milestone of one million elearning for healthcare users. This is testament to the high-quality content we produce with our partners that has the potential to make maximum impact on the quality of patient care. Our elearning programmes enhance traditional learning, support existing teaching methods and provide a valuable reference point.
“The breadth of subject matter that is covered within HEE elfh means there really is a programme for everyone who works in health and care.”
