The Induction for International Doctors programme is designed to introduce internationally qualified doctors, who are new to UK clinical practice, to ethical, social, legal and professional aspects of UK clinical practice. The interactive elearning sessions include case-based scenarios and are intentionally generic in content, thereby making them useful for doctors of any specialty and grade. It is expected that this elearning programme will act as a driver for new international doctors to commence a focussed discussion with their educational supervisors, to develop professional development plans and to undertake additional training as per their specialty/local needs.

The UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF) defines nationally agreed learning outcomes and training delivery standards for ten statutory/mandatory training topics for staff working in healthcare settings. The CSTF indicates which staff groups should have competence in which topics and at which level, and advises on minimum refresher periods. The elearning sessions in this programme have been designed to meet the relevant learning outcomes in the CSTF. There are also ten Level 1 and seven Level 2 eAssessments for Statutory and Mandatory training topics, one for each topic and level in the CSTF, which have an 80% pass rate.

Two new learning pathways for phlebotomists and porters have been added to the learnbloodtransfusion programme.

These two learning pathways have been specifically designed for staff solely undertaking either the phlebotomist or porter role in the transfusion process.

Developed in response to user feedback, these pathways are significantly shorter than the Safe Transfusion Practice course, and are intended to help reduce learning requirements for certain roles.

As with most other learnbloodtransfusion courses, there is an assessment element to evidence learning.
