New e-learning on Perinatal Post-mortem Consent

Posted on: November 5th, 2020 by Hannah Denness No Comments

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and Keele University to develop a new elearning resource to support health professionals who are required to discuss perinatal post-mortem consent with bereaved families.

This elearning programme aims to improve the knowledge and confidence of health professionals speaking to parents which will enable parents to make a well informed decision.

All content within this elearning module has been mapped against the learning outcomes stipulated by the HTA and Sands for perinatal post-mortem consent training.

Upon completion of the elearning package professionals who will be obtaining perinatal post-mortem consent will:

  • Understand the law and legal requirements in England and Wales
  • Understand the benefits, both present and future, for the bereaved family of having a post-mortem investigation
  • Be proficient with the process of taking consent for a hospital post-mortem
  • Explain what happens at a post-mortem examination and the options available to parents
  • Understand the importance of sensitive communication skills.

HEE and RCOT unite to create new blended training programme

Posted on: November 3rd, 2020 by Alex Drinkall No Comments

HEE elfh and the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) have worked together to create the first blended training programme for occupational therapists in perinatal mental health.

Occupational therapists play a key role in promoting women’s recovery from perinatal mental health problems, helping them overcome the barriers preventing them from doing the activities that matter to them and their children.

The new blended training programme is being highlighted to coincide with Occupational Therapy Week (2-6 November). It includes an elearning programme of six sessions, hosted on the elearning for healthcare Hub, as well as a virtual face-to-face forum with clinical experts.

The forum is being hosted by RCOT for new and existing members, who will have access to a wide range of learning resources and information.

The elearning sessions have already been launched more than 3,000 times.

Occupational therapists taking part will also have access to networking opportunities and annual study days (virtual during the current COVID-19 pandemic).

Rebecca Burgess-Dawson, Clinical Lead for Mental Health Education and Quality, Health Education England, said: “This innovation enables occupational therapists to embed their practice within the context of specialist perinatal mental healthcare, and further consolidate their expertise within teams.

“Teaching with clinical experts, coupled with sessions remotely and online, means this programme maximises flexibility whilst still creating a learning community.”
