Over recent years, people have increasingly turned to the Internet for their learning. This trend has been accelerated by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, as the lockdown has stopped any travel to training events.
Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has been one of the sites the health and care workforce have turned to in order to upskill themselves as a result of the pandemic. This has been reflected in the usage figures on the elfh Hub.
The last three months have each set a new record for sessions launched on the elfh Hub.
March saw 932,386 launches, which was a minor increase on the previous monthly record.
April saw huge usage on the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) programme that was released in response to the outbreak and, along with usage of other elfh programmes, there were 1,913,568 launches in total.
May, boosted by HEE elfh’s training support for the national NHS Test and Trace service, saw a further increase to 2,492,056 launches.
Martin Sinclair, Programme Lead for HEE elfh, said: “I’m delighted to see evidence of the role the elfh Hub and the elfh team have played in supporting the workforce over the last few months.
“It has been a challenging time for everyone and I’m glad that we could play our part. I’m really proud of the elfh team; their attitude and professionalism has been brilliant throughout.”
