E-Learning for Health and Social Care is a small but important part of the Learning and Development journey for many care staff. Organisations are increasingly using e-Learning as part of their Learning and Development to help increase engagement whilst adopting and utilising digital forms of learning. Whilst staff within the Health and Social Care sector are busy with their day-to-day roles, e-Learning offers a different approach to Learning and Development. This is because e-Learning can be completed in smaller bite-sized parts which allow learners to complete their learning quickly and access resources more conveniently.

It’s also worth noting that e-Learning can often be completed online, and on any device, which makes e-Learning highly effective when it comes to accessibility as it can be completed 24/7, around organisational and learner needs. These factors are great points to consider when reviewing your Learning and Development strategy, it can provide valuable insight to how e-Learning can deliver an excellent and positive impact on your organisations return on investment.

How can my Organisation Manage e-Learning?

As e-Learning is becoming a more accessible resource within Learning and Development, it’s vital that Health and Social Care Organisations are able to manage and track e-Learning. This is particularly important for larger organisations which may have several branches or large staff numbers. The ideal solution to this is utilising a Learning Management System known as an LMS. This will help build up and maintain a compliance record for both the organisation and each learner, which removed the need   of excess paperwork and complicated excel spreadsheets.

My Learning Cloud can provide Health and Social Care organisations the ability to access e-Learning on any device with an internet connection, whilst delivering up-to-date e-Learning on over 100 course titles. These e-Learning course titles have all been passed through the CPD certification service, to ensure each course has been quality assured and kept up-to-date. This means with a user-friendly LMS and over 100 CPD e-Learning courses, your organisations Learning and Development will be streamlined and simple.

Our e-Learning courses are written in line with the Care Certificate and focus solely on courses that support new care staff, refresher training and annual training. These courses are all made to support ‘Mandatory Training’ which supports workers within the sector, and allows them to get adequate induction training and annual refresher training to remain up-to-date with regulatory requirements.

What does Mandatory Training courses look like?

Within Health and Social Care, ‘Mandatory Training’ commonly include these e-Learning titles to cover induction training and annual refresher training:

• Health and Safety
• Fire Safety
• Equality and Diversity
• Infection Prevention and Control
• Manual Handling
• Food Hygiene and/or Food Safety Awareness

These e-Learning courses provide Health and Social Care organisations the chance to remain aligned and compliant with basic regulatory requirements.
