End of Life Care for All (e-ELCA) is an e-learning project, commissioned by the Department of Health and delivered by e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) in partnership with the Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland to support the implementation of the Department of Health’s national End of Life Care Strategy (July 2008).
e-ELCA aims to enhance the training and education of all those involved in delivering end of life care to people, so that well-informed high quality care can be delivered by confident and competent staff and volunteers, across health and social care, wherever the person happens to be.
Around 130 highly interactive sessions of e-learning are available in four specific areas:
A fifth area is devoted to presenting the learner with a variety of clinical situations to integrate and consolidate learning about end of life care.
e-ELCA is currently being rolled out to all health and social care professionals. A small number of sessions are also freely available to volunteers and clerical and administrative staff on an open access website. For further details see ‘Access the e-learning’.
