Introducing Learning Paths on eFetal Monitoring

Posted on: April 3rd, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

A new learning path structure for eFetal Monitoring (eFM) is now available.
The knowledge sessions and assessments now appear as a series of learning paths based upon levels of complexity. The four learning paths are:

  • Level 1 – Pathophysiology: Normal Fetal Heart Rate Pattern
  • Level 2 – Risk factors for Fetal Hypoxia
  • Level 3 – Pathophysiology: Complex Fetal Heart Rate Pattern
  • Level 4 – Complex Pregnancies

All previous knowledge sessions are still available and all user records are still accessible. However users will need to work through the assessments in order and pass at 80% or higher for the proceeding levels’ assessment to be unlocked.

Each learning path consists of two courses; one for knowledge sessions and one for assessment. This means users have the opportunity to generate two certificates for each learning path. Certification is available upon course completion, or passing the assessment section, and can be generated via the certificate icon at learning path level. The previous method of generating certificates, via My Activity, is no longer available.

e-Learning programme to support staff in involving patients and public in their work now live

Posted on: March 22nd, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

NHS England has worked in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare to develop a new elearning programme called Engaging with People and Communities – 10 steps to even better public engagement.

The programme has been developed as an alternative to the one-day face-to-face session to ensure learning opportunities are available to all colleagues. It is aimed at those people working in a commissioning role, supporting a commissioning role or who have an interest in this work.

It supports staff to involve patients and the public in their work using approaches built on best practice principles to improve services, including giving clear advice on the legal duty to involve. The elearning links to an extensive range of resources, good practice and advice that will support staff to involve patients and the public. It highlights key participation principles and themes including working with ‘seldom heard’ groups to maximise the benefits and impact of involvement.

The elearning programme is available to access via the elfh Hub and the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).

Junior Doctor mentor e-learning programme launched

Posted on: March 14th, 2018 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has developed an elearning programme to enable junior doctors to complete training to be a mentor without needing to travel to a teaching session.

HEE is committed to improving junior doctors’ working lives and effective mentoring plays a significant part in the development of a trainee.

This course will help junior doctors to develop skills as a mentor, increase awareness of the role and responsibilities they have as a mentor and highlight how the role of a mentor might personally benefit their own development.

After completing and fully participating in this programme learners will be better equipped to:

  • explain the mentor/mentee relationship and the roles and responsibilities involved
  • identify a clear set of guidelines and principles for a successful mentoring relationship
  • understand and use specific tools to help provide effective support for the mentee
  • give constructive feedback and facilitate a process of feedback generation by the mentee
  • feel confident enough to provide high quality mentoring support.

Mentoring is a learning support mechanism where an experienced person provides guidance, knowledge and advice to someone who is in development or has less experience about a specific topic or function.

The role of a mentor is very important and whether the relationship is formal or informal, the fact is that a good mentor can be instrumental in the development of not only a mentee’s skills and knowledge, but also their behaviour, attitude and professional outlook.
