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.

We are proud to announce that there is a new course available in the Preventing Falls in Hospitals programme: CareFall: Reducing inpatient falls risk factors and post fall management.

The aim of this course is to give you the knowledge to identify risk factors for inpatient falls and how to reduce them, to give guidance on safely moving patients if they have fallen and how to assess them for a serious injury. It has primarily been developed for foundation level doctors working in acute or community hospitals, but other staff members with an interest in falls risk reduction are welcome to use it.

Please note that this course has been developed in Flash and will therefore not run on mobile devices.
