Healthcare e-Academy launch plugs gap in market sector
23/3/2009
A new standalone e-learning organisation for the healthcare sector has been launched.
The Healthcare e-Academy is delivering clinical and non-clinical online training programmes, with strategic modules covering key topics such as data protection and information governance, infection prevention and control, blended or e-induction training, and statutory and mandatory training.
Established by online learning pioneer Virtual College, the Healthcare e-Academy has grown from - and now supercedes - the flourishing TIGER e-Academy, which, since 2003, has successfully provided data protection and information governance-related training courses to 55,000 e-learners nationwide across more than 100 different organisations.
The role of its successor has been enhanced and developed substantially. Judith Clarkson, divisional director of e-academies with Virtual College, explained: "The content of some courses offered by the new Healthcare e-Academy has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.
