Care Certificate sessions re-designed to support mobile phone users

Posted on: October 26th, 2020 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with Care Certificate leads in Health Education England and Skills for Care to ensure the Care Certificate elearning sessions are easy to access on a mobile phone. The re-design was initiated by feedback from learners and educational leads and reflects the different ways our users are now accessing learning.

The Care Certificate programme is a set of core standards that health and social care support workers adhere to during their daily working life.

The elearning programme underpins the theoretical learning for each standard, and there are also scenarios which support its completion in a wide range of care settings.

Designed with the unregistered workforce in mind, the Care Certificate was developed to provide standardised, structured learning at the beginning of a career in care.   This aims to ensure that care workers have the same introduction to fundamental skills, knowledge and behaviours to support the provision of compassionate, safe, quality care to the individuals in their care.

The re-designed sessions include the same learning objectives and content as the previous versions and are suitable for learners accessing the resource on a desktop, laptop and tablet as well as on a mobile phone.

More information about the Care Certificate elearning programme is available here.

Posted on: October 26th, 2020 by Rachel Gowland No Comments

The SCRIPT elearning programme provides portfolios of modules specifically for healthcare professionals working in primary and secondary care settings.

The European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (EACPT) Working Group on education reviewed different types of digital learning used to teach rational prescribing and assessed their effect on learner-related and clinically relevant outcomes.

The EACPT working group concluded that“elearning is the most-used type of digital learning for safe and effective prescribing education and is efficacious in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate prescribers the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes”.

SCRIPT modules cover a range of topics relating to prescribing, therapeutics and medicines safety and are categorised into different themes. Modules are suitable for any prescriber or anybody in training to be a prescriber, for example. foundation trainees, undergraduate medical students, doctors and non-medical prescribers.

Themes include:

  • Principles of prescribing
  • Prescribing in medical emergencies
  • Prescribing in special circumstances
  • Therapeutic groups

Each module takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. All course materials have been authored by a team of expert healthcare professionals and are regularly reviewed and updated.

What are the benefits in using the SCRIPT elearning programmes?

  • Safer prescribing
    SCRIPT enhances knowledge and confidence in prescribing correctly, improving patient safety, therapeutics and medicines management.
  • Professional development
    Certificates are made available on completion of a module, which can be used for online learning portfolios as evidence of continuing professional development.
  • Flexible learning
    SCRIPT is easily accessible and intuitive to use, allowing users to complete modules at their convenience and refer back to modules at any time.
  • Free to learners with an NHS.uk or NHS.net email address.

New content added to the Advanced Threat Protection programme

Posted on: October 22nd, 2020 by Leanne Hargreaves No Comments

Since 2019, Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) have been working with NHS Digital to develop the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) elearning programme.

This free elearning programme aims to upskill NHS ATP administrators to use the Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection service.

In addition to the five initial sessions, HEE elfh and NHS Digital have now launched further content to add to the programme.

The latest session ‘PowerBI Reporting’ covers using Power BI to extract data with ATP’s reporting Application Programming Interface (API), and present this data using charts and visualisations or export it for manipulation in software such as Excel.

The programme currently consists of the following six sessions with more planned for the future.

  • Introduction to ATP
  • Understanding Alerts and Incidents
  • Threat Analytics
  • Threat and Vulnerability Management
  • Managing ATP Incidents and Alerts
  • PowerBI Reporting

The Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection service, included within the Windows 10 licencing deal purchased centrally by the Department of Health and Social Care, is for the benefit of local NHS organisations and the NHS as a whole. It is part of a broader portfolio of data and cyber security services managed by NHS Digital. ATP Administrators across the NHS would benefit from being upskilled in using ATP’s features and its dashboards so they can further advance their organisational resilience to cyber security threats.
