Neonatal airway management now supported with new elearning 

Posted on: May 21st, 2024 by Vanessa Bassnett No Comments

A new elearning programme on managing neonatal airways has now been added to the NHS Learning Hub. 

Successful management of the neonatal airway is an essential skill during resuscitation and respiratory deterioration of babies. Managing the airway in this age group is particularly challenging due to several factors including the size and immaturity of babies’ airways and respiratory systems, plus the availability of appropriately sized airway equipment. 

This first module, developed by NHS England elearning for healthcare and the British Association of Perinatal Medicine, explores the importance of premedication in preparation for neonatal intubation and considers the effects and potential side-effects of the drugs used for this purpose.  

It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete and is aimed primarily at paediatric and neonatal medical staff and neonatal pharmacists.

Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag training now available 

Posted on: May 20th, 2024 by Vanessa Bassnett No Comments

Colleagues working across health and social care services can now access free training to implement the Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag – helping it to become part of a standard approach to treatment. 

 The Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag is a national record held on the Spine (National Care Records Service). It enables staff to record, share and view details of any reasonable adjustment that a person may need, wherever they are accessing health or care services.  

The new online training takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete and will help colleagues to address health inequalities and make a real difference to the lives of people living with a disability or impairment. 

Reasonable adjustments enable fair and equitable access to services and are the responsibility of everyone working in health and social care. The training explains how the digital flag supports everybody to deliver their obligations under both the Equality Act (2010), and the Information Standard that was published under the Health and Social Care Act.  

It may be helpful to consider undertaking this learning alongside The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism, as well as sessions on the Accessible Information Standard and Mental Capacity Act. 

Visit the NHS Learning Hub to find out more and to access the training for free.

Final modules of Becoming Simulation Faculty launched

Posted on: May 8th, 2024 by Vanessa Bassnett No Comments

NHS England’s Technology Enhanced Learning team has launched the final elearning modules of Becoming Simulation Faculty (BSF), a national blended learning programme to support the professional development of simulation educators, practitioners, technicians, and managers in health and care.    

BSF is a national approach to simulation faculty development, enhancing professional capabilities and supporting continual professional development of multi-disciplinary teams. It has been co-designed and authored in collaboration with experts across the UK simulation community.  

The programme enables delivery of key targets in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan by supporting educators to increase their impact, confidence and capabilities when designing, developing and delivering modern methods in simulation. This includes using immersive learning technologies and blended learning approaches which are critical to underpin growth in education capacity and ensuring equitable access to learning and enhancing simulation and immersive learning practices at scale.   

It also aligns with the Educator Workforce Strategy, and the National Safety Syllabus, supporting hybrid education and workforce development, and high-quality, safe care delivery.   

The programme is running a core course (6 theory-based online elearning topics and a face-to-face workshop) throughout 2024, and from 2025 will include advanced learning opportunities.

Bereavement training updated

Posted on: March 21st, 2024 by Kieron Bradshaw No Comments

Our National Bereavement Care Pathway training has been reviewed and updated to ensure that language is in line with current guidance, and to add links to sources of information and support.

Pregnancy loss and child death impacts a significant number of families each day. The core aims of the training are to improve quality of bereavement care and to reduce variance across services.

Created in collaboration with charities, professional organisations and people with first-hand experience, the training is free to access and can be used by anybody who may come into contact with someone who is bereaved through loss of a baby, including non-clinical professions.

Understanding the needs of couples who have suffered pregnancy or baby loss can build confidence in all staff who are in contact with them, supporting them to approach families and offer care and communication in a parent-centred way. This can reduce further distress and isolation which can impact on the mental health of both parents.

Telephone triage training supports assessment of cancer patients

Posted on: February 9th, 2024 by Kieron Bradshaw No Comments

Colleagues working with oncology and haematology patients can now access free online training to help utilise the UK Oncology Nurses Society (UKONS) triage tool in everyday practice.  

The UKONS 24- Hour Triage Tool is a risk assessment tool that uses a red, amber and green (RAG) scoring system to identify and prioritise the presenting problems of patients contacting 24-hour advice lines. The aim of the new training is to provide a standardised programme that can be used as a basis for this specific triage process. The free training also provides generic information and guidance relating to organisational governance and the safe delivery of telephone assessment. 

The elearning will be useful for all staff who undertake telephone assessment of cancer patients across secondary care, primary care and volunteer organisations (including service managers and practice educators).  

You don’t need a healthcare email address to register, which means colleagues from third sector and voluntary organisations can access the training for free. Simply visit the UKONS Telephone Triage training programme page on the NHS Learning Hub to register and find out more.
