Health Education England’s elearning for healthcare (elfh) team won the Digital Transformation award at last week’s GovNews Direct Smarter Working Live Awards for their work on the COVID-19 vaccination elearning programme.

The team, in partnership with the UK Health Security Agency (formerly Public Health England) and NHS England and NHS Improvement developed the core digital theory training for all COVID-19 vaccinators in England.

Every vaccinator in England has completed the elfh COVID-19 vaccination elearning programme meaning the resource has played a fundamental role in the success of the roll out of the vaccination programme.  To date there have been more than 2.7million session launches of the elearning programme.

Dr Neil Ralph, Head of Technology Enhanced Learning, Health Education England said: “I am absolutely delighted that the team’s work has been recognised for its contribution to the COVID-19 response.  They worked tirelessly to ensure the COVID-19 vaccination programme was the best it could be, in a very short time frame and is testament to the expertise, passion and commitment we have in the elearning for healthcare team.”
