New sessions available on stopping over-medication of people with a learning disability and autistic people

Posted on: June 19th, 2024 by Charlotte Murray No Comments

The collection of four new sessions aim to provide a journey through Stopping Over Medication of People with a learning disability and autistic people (STOMP) and how to bring about these improvements in care that are at the heart of programme. They build on the existing, introductory modules 1-6, and focus on challenging inappropriate prescribing and how people can stay well when medication is reduced.

Developed by NHS England’s eLearning for healthcare programme (elfh) and the MindEd platform in collaboration and partnership with NHS England’s STOMP team, the first three sessionsaimed at specialist health and social care professionals, introduce and explain how inappropriate prescribing can be identified and potentially challenged. They focus on how to consider, monitor and evaluate the reduction of medication and how to identify and manage some of the consequences commonly encountered.

The final session is for people with a learning disability or who may be autistic and their family or other carers. It uses a fictional case study to illustrate how to challenge inappropriate prescribing of medication and what alternatives to medication there are so that you can manage your health and stay well:

If you are a person with a learning disability, an autistic person, a family member, support worker or carer, someone with an interest in STOMP or a health or social care professional, there is something for you. Each session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and will have an introduction outlining who the session is aimed at. Some sessions, written for all, have downloadable easy read PDF versions.

Note that while available widely, this content is written with a UK/England context in mind.

New Supporting AHP Students elearning programme launched

Posted on: August 31st, 2021 by Leanne Hargreaves No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with Health Education England’s AHP team and the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust to launch a new supporting allied health professionals (AHP) student elearning programme.

 

The aim of this course is to provide non-registered AHP assistants and support staff with training to develop their understanding of student education and to develop their skills in supporting students and educators within their teams. During this course, users will learn about the student journey, from the beginning of their studies to qualification and how practice placements form part of their learning. The resource will also offer an understanding of what is expected from students during placement, how to give feedback to students and educators and how to recognise and support a student who may be struggling. By developing these skills, non-registered staff will be able to contribute to the delivery of practice placement education, improving the quality and capacity of placements.

The following sessions are now available:

  • Health and Wellbeing Part 1: Resilience
  • Health and Wellbeing Part 2: Why Might a Student Struggle on Placement?

 

For more information about the elearning, including how to access it, please visit the HEE elfh Supporting AHP Students programme page.

elfh is a NHS England programme in partnership with the NHS and professional bodies
