The end-of-life care for all (e-ELCA) elearning programme has now been launched more than 1 million times.
e-ELCA sessions have been highlighted as a resource to help with implementation of the NICE Guidelines on improving care for people who are in their last days of life.
The programme aims to enhance the training and education of the health and care workforce so that well informed, high quality care can be delivered by confident and competent staff and volunteers to support people in all settings.
It is developed by HEE elearning for healthcare, in partnership with the Association for Palliative Medicine, and the 1 million milestone was passed earlier this month.
The programme and associated webpages have recently been completely restructured in response to user feedback. Changes have been implemented to aid navigation, highlight learning paths and comply with new HEE standards.
There are more than 170 interactive sessions which are grouped into 9 modules:
- Advance care planning
- Assessment in end-of-life care
- Communications skills
- Symptom management, comfort, and wellbeing
- Integrating learning in end-of-life care
- Social care
- Bereavement care
- Spiritual care
- Specialist care
The programme also offers a number of learning paths which provide targeted learning for specific staff groups, defined curricula, and condition-specific end-of-life care.
Visit the end-of-life care programme page to find out more about the elearning programme and for details of how to access.
