On 22 January 2025, the Prevention of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm Labour elearning programme will move from the elfh Hub to the NHSE Learning Hub as part of a planned upgrade of our learning platforms.

The Learning Hub is a national digital learning platform providing easy access to a wide range of educational resources and support for the health and care workforce and educators. You are auto enrolled on the Learning Hub with your elfh account and new users can sign up for free.

What you need to do

If you have started this programme on the elfh Hub and require a certificate, please complete all relevant programme resources before midnight on 21 January 2025. After this date, a record of your activity on the elfh Hub will still be available in the ‘My Activity’ area in your elfh account, including any certificates.

If you are unable to complete the programme by midnight 21 January 2025, you can wait and complete it from the 22 January 2025 on the NHSE Learning Hub. Your activity on the NHSE Learning Hub is recorded in the ‘My Learning’ section, including any certificates.

We will issue a notification and a link to the resource once it is live on the NHSE Learning Hub. This link will also feature on the programme webpage from the 21 January 2025.

About the Prevention of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm Labour programme

This interactive elearning resource has been designed for perinatal healthcare professionals to support education around the administration of magnesium sulphate for neuroprotection to mothers in preterm labour. Building on current NICE guidance, and the successful roll out of the national PReCePT programme, this module will guide clinicians through the clinical benefits of administering magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) to mothers who go into labour before 30 weeks gestation. It will provide information on the neuroprotective qualities of this cost-effective and readily available drug, the detail of how it is administered and the positive impact it can have on the lives of neonates and their families.
