Medico-legal Training programme

Posted on: June 14th, 2019 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

A new elearning programme from Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) aims to support health and care professionals with court-related experiences.

The Medico-legal Training programme provides resources for doctors and other health and care professionals who may be asked to write a statement or report or give evidence in a coroners’ or other court for the first time. It aims to offer support for what can be, for many, a daunting experience.

It includes brief video lectures and PowerPoint slides from the lectures as well as sample statements and references.

Course materials were developed by HEE Kent, Surrey and Sussex with staff from the London Havens, and health professionals with experience of the legal system. The Havens are sexual assault referral centres which have developed considerable experience in training clinicians to undertake forensic examinations and aftercare.

The elearning resource is available now on the elfh Hub and will soon also be available on the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).

Doctors in Training Induction Programme: update

Posted on: June 3rd, 2019 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Last year Health Education England (HEE) developed and launched a free, national online induction programme for doctors in training. It incorporates key relevant clinical topics which support doctors in training with the additional competences needed as part of their induction to provide high quality patient care.

The content is available as three ‘patient journey’ scenarios and each come with an assessment to confirm competence acquisition. Completing this content in advance allows Trust induction days to focus on welcome, orientation and key local learning; saving time and enhancing the experience. The competencies gained through this online induction package can be ‘passported’ for up to three years as the doctors in training move between Trusts.

The scenarios included in the programme cover the following topics:

  • Scenario one – Blood Transfusion and Consent
  • Scenario two – Safe Prescribing and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
  • Scenario three – Mental Capacity Act and Death Certification.
  • Each scenario also covers the learning outcomes for Risk Management and Record Keeping, where relevant within the patient scenarios

Between June and December 2018, we conducted an evaluation of the programme via an online questionnaire. In response to the feedback received, we will be undertaking a review of the assessment questions and plan to update them to improve the experience for learners. The updated assessment sections will be available from July 2019.

We have created an infographic to demonstrate the usage of the Doctors in Training Induction Programme. The data breaks down usage by region, device, grade and month. We are encouraged by the usage of the programme, but would like to see even more doctors in training accessing the resource and would be grateful if you would share details about the programme throughout your network.DIT Infographic May 2019

Place of Birth e-learning programme now live

Posted on: April 10th, 2019 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare has worked with Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, the University of Birmingham, the National Institute of Healthcare Research (NIHR) and the Royal College of Midwives, to develop an elearning programme that focuses on the different place of birth options for healthy, pregnant women who are at low risk of complications.

The programme consists of two elearning sessions to support discussions with healthy, low-risk women about the safety, intervention and transfer rates for the different options for place of birth.

‘Discussing Place of Birth Options with Healthy Low-risk Women’, and ‘Becoming a Place of Birth Lead’ are elearning sessions developed by midwives, for midwives, to support women in their birth place decisions. They are also suitable for others working with pregnant women, such as obstetricians, midwifery support workers and GPs.

The first session aims to ensure that midwives (and other professionals) have the essential knowledge about safety, intervention and transfer rates for different birth place options.

The second session is for midwives who have completed the first session and agreed with their manager to become ‘Place of Birth leads’ in their team, to support their colleagues in improving their place of birth discussions with women.

All the supporting materials for this programme have been written by subject specialists and experts in this field. The elearning programme is available on the elfh Hub, the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and via AICC links.
