New session on advance care planning added to end-of-life care for all programme

Posted on: May 26th, 2022 by Louise Garrahan No Comments

A new elearning session on engaging effectively about advance care planning with people from ethnically diverse backgrounds has been added to the end-of-life care for all programme.

The session aims to build healthcare professionals’ confidence and expertise in supporting people from diverse ethnic backgrounds to think ahead about deterioration and dying at a time and level that is comfortable for the patient.

It is based on findings from the Thinking Ahead Study where more than 70 people from ethnically diverse communities and 60 health professionals shared their experiences of thinking ahead about deterioration and dying, which suggested that patients from ethnic minority communities access end-of-life care less and later than other sections of the population, and that clinicians may lack confidence in supporting them.

The session was created in partnership with the LOROS: Hospice Care for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to be part of a wider group of resources intended to promote awareness and learning about the key findings of Thinking Ahead Study to explore ways in which doctors and nurses can support patients more effectively at the end of their lives in line with their religious, spiritual and cultural values.

The end-of-life care for all programme, developed in partnership with the Association for Palliative Medicine, is designed to enhance the training and education of all those involved in delivering end-of-life care such as social care workers, support workers, administrative and clerical staff, and volunteers.

For more information and to access the new session, please visit the end-of-life-care for all (e-ELCA) programme page.

Easy access maternity elearning catalogue now available

Posted on: May 18th, 2022 by Louise Garrahan No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with HEE midwifery leads, maternity and the neonatal digital steering group to develop a catalogue of resources for maternity staff to access key elearning to support the delivery of care for women and families.

The Maternity Resources: Ockenden Immediate and Essential Actions catalogue comprises existing programmes on the elfh Hub that have been collated into 1 easily accessible learning package.

A comprehensive suite of programmes within the catalogue provides high quality training relevant to staff working in maternity services such as midwives, neonatal nurses, obstetricians, maternity healthcare support workers and paediatric staff. The programmes feature individual sessions which cover a host of topics including medical problems in pregnancy, fetal monitoring and preterm birth.

The catalogue has been developed to support the findings of the Ockenden report  and to enable the workforce to respond to Local Actions for Learning (LAfL) and Immediate and Essential Actions (IEAs) for the system.

The new maternity catalogue supports the successful delivery of these LAfL and IEAs by making elearning more easily accessible as a ‘one stop shop’ for maternity services colleagues.

Professor Wendy Reid, Education, Quality and Medical Director at HEE, said: “We are delighted to take this positive step to support improvements to the delivery of maternity services across the country. This catalogue will make it easier for health and care colleagues to access high quality learning resources on many aspects of maternity care to help ensure that the NHS in England is one of the safest places in the world to have a baby.”
