USING e-LEARNING TO SUPPORT SELF CARE
20/7/2009
The Healthcare e-Academy, part of online training pioneer Virtual College, based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, now offers an important and original new e-learning module for healthcare professionals engaged in supporting patients' self care and self management strategies.
The course has been developed to serve the present-day training needs of a wide range of front-line health service staff, including health visitors, district nurses, workers in minor injuries units, community matrons, GP surgery staff and - potentially - many others.
Geraldine Granath, the Head of People Development and Teaching for NHS South of Tyne and Wear in the north east of England, was a key member of the team which designed and brought forward the new self care e-learning module in partnership with the Healthcare e-Academy prior to its launch in 2009.
The initiative was supported by Skills for Health and NHS NE Health Authority (SHA). Three pilot sites in Lancashire, East Anglia and Lancashire produced learning materials that supported the development of supporting self care.
