e-learning

Our e-learning programmes offer an alternative way of accessing learning and are available from this website.

When developing our e-learning programmes, we have used a variety of activities and exercises: some will make your learning fun and some are included to challenge your understanding and test what you have learnt. In our New medicine service video wall you can listen to a GP, a patient, the original researchers and leaders talk about the service.

Learning style

We have developed several styles of e-learning programmes:

Our longer programmes, such as Travel health and Helping others learn, are divided into sections so you can complete one section at a time and return to the learning at any point.
Our shorter programmes, such as Responsible pharmacist, take less then an hour to complete.
Our New medicine service video wall offers a walk through the service, from recruiting a patient and taking consent to the follow-up consultation.

All our e-learning programmes can be accessed from this website.

We also have a CD-ROM:

Choosing health through pharmacy

This can be ordered from the open learning portfolio.

What's new in the BNF?

In 2009 we launched the first BNF e-update, which was developed in collaboration with the team at the British National Formulary (BNF). We have continued this collaboration with our interactive PDF programme What's new in the BNF?, released every six months as each new edition of the BNF is published.

Each new version of the What's new in the BNF? includes around ten clinical case studies with short answer questions, suitable for all areas of practice.

The programme takes around 45 minutes to complete and will easily help you to keep up to date with the most recent changes in the BNF. To download this programme, visit our open learning portfolio.
