Additional Paramedic elearning
The College of Paramedics and NHSE TEL elearning for healthcare (elfh) collaborate to offer easy to access elearning on core paramedic topics to support you in your practice.

Similarly Urgent care for paramedics – Illness reviews conditions needing unscheduled care such as pneumonia, UTI and sore throat.
Based on key learning from the Covid 19 pandemic, Paramedic management of infectious diseases (including COVID 19) offers insight into the specific pathophysiology, recognition and management of Covid 19, to support you to develop your understanding of a range of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and other viral and bacterial diseases.
Elective Care elearning programme
Ensuring all patients receive high-quality elective care without any unnecessary delay is a key national directive. This Elective Care elearning programme delivers essential knowledge and understanding of referral to treatment (RTT) pathways and wider elective care principles, standards and rules.
Elective care is routine or urgent care which usually takes place in hospital but can be delivered in other settings. It is the opposite of emergency care which usually requires immediate medical attention. The NHS Constitution sets out a series of rights and pledges on elective care that the NHS is expected to deliver.
This programme is designed to be used by a variety of NHS staff working across a range of organisations who are responsible for managing patients along elective pathways or delivering national elective care standards.
The elearning is broken down into 8 short sessions which are structured in a chronological pathway order.
