Foundation e-learning programme - February update

Foundation elearning programme: Professional Capability: 3 Behaves in accordance with ethical and legal requirements.

Foundation specific elearning – The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges worked in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (elfh) to develop a Foundation Programme specific elearning programme which is approved by UKFPO.

The Mental Health Act protects the rights of vulnerable adults and children; a group of the elearning sessions outline the responsibilities of the people who care for them.

The elearning programme explores how the General Medical Council (GMC) supports career development, looking at the topics of registration, the Foundation Programme and career development.
