Ensuring all patients receive high-quality elective care without any unnecessary delay is a key national directive. This Elective Care elearning programme delivers essential knowledge and understanding of referral to treatment (RTT) pathways and wider elective care principles, standards and rules.
Elective care is routine or urgent care which usually takes place in hospital but can be delivered in other settings. It is the opposite of emergency care which usually requires immediate medical attention. The NHS Constitution sets out a series of rights and pledges on elective care that the NHS is expected to deliver.
This programme is designed to be used by a variety of NHS staff working across a range of organisations who are responsible for managing patients along elective pathways or delivering national elective care standards.
The elearning is broken down into 8 short sessions which are structured in a chronological pathway order.
For more information and to access the sessions, please visit the programme page.
