Health Education England elearning for healthcare has developed an elearning programme for NHS staff about project and change management activities.

This suite of specially designed and selected modules aims to provide all NHS staff with a clear and consistent understanding of the fundamentals of project and change management activities to enable them to have a greater impact on delivering successful change.

These modules are just one method of building project and change capability within the NHS workforce and are available for anyone working in health and care. All modules may be of interest and benefit to those either at the beginning of their careers, or those who are currently in a project related role but do not hold official qualifications in this subject matter (non-project professionals).

All modules are aligned to professional body standards including the Association for Project Management (APM) and the Change Management Institute (CMI), Best Management Practice guides and government standards set by HM Treasury and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority.

This suite of core skills elearning modules forms part of a wider NHS Project Delivery Profession offering. For more information on the profession, join the community and head to the Capability Development Group.

The elearning programme includes the following modules:

• Getting Started: Projects and Change
• Key Ingredients for Project Success
• Project Leadership: The Role of the Senior Responsible Owner
• Introduction to Benefits Management
• Introduction to Change Management

Each module should take between 30-40 minutes to complete and there is a short self-assessment at the end of each module.
