MindEd’s new online Adverse Childhood Behaviours sessions

Posted on: November 18th, 2020 by Louise Garrahan No Comments

New sessions added to MindEd’s Adverse Childhood Behaviours elearning programme
Health Education England elearning for healthcare has added three new sessions on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to its MindEd mental health elearning programme.
A child, whose mind and body are overly stressed and in fight, flight or freeze mode, is not open for learning. ACEs have short and long-term negative life changing consequences across education, health, care, criminal justice, later employment and life expectancy outcomes.

The new sessions, which complement the existing three sessions that went live in September 2020, are aimed at teachers and other professionals in schools. They focus on case studies across three different areas:

  • Multi-agency Working – this session focuses on a mental health service which addresses issues with multiple agencies using different frameworks to support children with ACEs, which can lead to miscommunication between professionals. The learner will be prompted to think about some techniques that work in meetings, and how to manage disagreement.
  • Anxiety and Distress in the Classroom: Internalising Difficulties – in this session the learner is asked to think about how to help children in the classroom who have ACEs. Learners meet Billy, aged 10, who is distressed about moving to senior school and Kayleigh, aged 16, who feels excluded by her peers but has fortunately found one good friend and a supportive teacher. The session explores how to separately support Kayleigh, in simple but important ways that make all the difference.

Behavioural Issues in the Classroom: Externalising Difficulties – this session focuses on a young boy who has not completed his homework due to difficulties at home living with a mother who has depression and alcoholism. Through this session learners explore how to be sensitive in these situations and avert difficulties in the classroom with young people who can be volatile because of their circumstances.
The sessions are freely available to access here: https://www.minded.org.uk/Component/Details/653614.

MindEd is a free educational resource for mental health support. The variety of free resources aims to provide adults, across professions and organisations and including parents and carers, with the knowledge to support wellbeing, the understanding to identify young and older people at risk of a mental health condition and the confidence to act on their concern and, if needed, signpost to services that can help.

New PReCePT: Prevention of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm Labour e-learning programme now available

Posted on: November 18th, 2020 by Leanne Hargreaves No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh), in partnership with the ASHN Network, have collaborated to develop a new, free elearning programme for perinatal healthcare professionals.

The PReCePT: Prevention of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm Labour elearning programme, released in line with World Prematurity Day, has been designed for perinatal healthcare professionals to support education around the administration of magnesium sulphate to mothers in preterm labour for neonatal neuroprotection.

Building on current NICE guidance, and the successful roll out of the national PReCePT programme by the AHSN Network, 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. This resource will be invaluable for training new staff and will be vital in sustaining high uptakes of MgSO4 across the NHS.

How to access the elearning

The PReCePT: Prevention of Cerebral Palsy in Preterm Labour is available to the health and care workforce via the elearning for healthcare Hub, AICC and the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).

You can learn more about the elearning programme here: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/prevention-of-cerebral-palsy-in-preterm-labour/.

Updates to End of Life Care for All (e-ELCA) e-learning programme

Posted on: November 17th, 2020 by Hannah Denness No Comments

A new session and two new learning paths have been added to the End of Life Care for All (e-ELCA) elearning programme.

The Registered Nurse Verification of Expected Adult Death session aims to highlight the processes and responsibilities of a registered nurse when verifying an expected adult death. It is designed to support the Special Edition of Care After Death: Registered Nurse Verification of Expected Adult Death (RNVoEAD) guidance (Hospice UK 2020).

This session has also been added to the e-ELCA Resources to support staff with difficult conversations and end of life care learning path which was created to support staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two new learning paths have also been added to the elearning programme.

The e-ELCA Learning Path for General Practitioners with an Interest in Palliative and End-of-Life Care  has been designed for GPs who are looking to develop and maintain their palliative care knowledge. It will also be useful for GP trainees completing a placement in a hospice. It was designed with reference to sessions in the End of Life Care module in the e-GP programme and provides supplementary knowledge to this.

The e-ELCA Renal Learning Path is designed to support health care professionals involved in the care of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. It includes sessions which focus on the trajectory of illness and planning for the future, discussions around specific interventions, medical management and symptom control.

New content added to the Sexual Health and HIV programme

Posted on: November 11th, 2020 by Hannah Denness No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) and the Royal College of Physicians to add new content to the Sexual Health and HIV programme (eHIV-STI).

A new session, HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), is now available as part of the elearning programme. This has been timed to coincide with the roll out of routine PrEP in England. The elearning is aimed at nursing and medical staff in sexual health services where PrEP is to be delivered and will cover all of the practical and clinical aspects of PrEP provision.

The eHIV-STI elearning programme provides the knowledge framework for healthcare professionals treating and supporting people with sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, and related conditions. The elearning is split across 17 modules and provides an extensive knowledge base for STIs and HIV.

New modules added to Emergency Medicine programme

Posted on: November 10th, 2020 by Hannah Denness No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) to develop new Emergency Medicine Leaders (EMLeaders) modules as part of the Emergency Medicine programme.

EMLeaders aims to support leaders within the emergency department workforce. The programme focuses on leadership: what it is and how to become better leaders, regardless of grade or clinical role in the emergency department.

The leadership training programme is primarily aimed at trainees in emergency medicine and links to a leadership competency-based framework and the new Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) curriculum 2020.

The two programme sessions have been designed to ensure the workforce:

  • is more knowledgeable about clinical leadership and how to apply this knowledge in their role
  • feels better supported and equipped to make decisions in the workplace and manage the challenging environment of the emergency department

These new elearning sessions, Leading Self and Leading Teams – which sit within elfh’s Emergency Medicine programme – take approximately 30 – 90 minutes to complete and include assessments at critical points in the elearning.
