My Background with eLearning
• Further Education Worked as a Learning Resource Manager for Hull FE/HE. I was
responsible for the development of eLearning resources from 1998-2001. I worked with a number of systems including Blackboard, Oracle i-Learn,WebCT and Teknical
• Primary Care Joined South Humber HA in Feb 2001 TUPE’d to North East Lincs Primary
Care by summer 2001. Primary Care worked with North Lincs and Goole Acute Services to deliver a small eLearning pilot mainly on Fire-training between 2002 and 2003
• North and East Yorks and Northern Lincs SHA Worked to deliver an eLearning system to 18 Trusts in NYNL SHA to
support the NEYNL eLearning strategy written to support “Working Together Learning Together”. After tender process SERCO Learning system was chosen as the platform
My Background in eLearning
• CLU I was asked by the NHSU in summer 2004 to find a safe home for
the statutory and mandatory learning programmes they had produced before they were dissolved as an organisation.
I worked with the Core Learning unit which was housed by South Yorks SHA to repurpose and make accessible, Working for the NHS,Fire,Health and Safety and Manual Handling and Lifting. I also worked with them to develop a learning platform which would be accessible to all Trusts and which could house other packages such as Diversity.
• Nationally I have worked with the National eLearning Operational Group
which were responsible for producing the NHS eLearning Framework and the NHS eLearning roadmap
NLH – Contribution to eLearning
• Background The National Library for Health is a modern, integrated, hybrid service that aims to
be ‘the best, most trusted health related knowledge service in the world’. • Objectives To further develop the value of NLH, a repository of e-learning materials will be
created, to contain e-learning packages that NLH can offer to their customer base. Building on from that, a scoping study will be carried out to assess requirements such as technical specifications and essential features.

NLH – Contribution to eLearning
• Rationale The mission of the NHS Institute (supported by the NLH) is to “improve health
outcomes and raise the quality of delivery in the NHS by accelerating the uptake of proven innovation and improvements in healthcare delivery models and processes, medical products and devices and healthcare leadership.”
• In-Scope• The development of a national repository to house eLearning objects for the NHS
which is structured by the use of an agreed taxonomy or taxonomies to enable best access to eLearning by the NHS in the first instance and by key strategic partners in the future.
• Out of Scope The development of a national platform to deliver and manage eLearning for the
NHS.• Stakeholders NLH (including 1750 Health Librarians) SHAs/Deaneries Trusts Key partners eg Social Services HEIs
NLH – Contribution to eLearning
• Deliverables A platform to house eLearning Objects Taxonomy/Taxonomies to support access to eLearning objects A QA system to identify, manage and maintain eLearning objects• Dependencies National eLearning Alliance (including CfH) supporting this
approach The Institute for Innovation and Improvement agrreing this as part
of NLH business planning Sustainable funding models
NLH – Contribution to eLearning
• Benefits Improved value for money - Less time and money will be spent on
creating and purchasing content. More efficient ways of working - As knowledge increases through
sharing of learning objects, service delivery will be progressively improved through innovation
Improved eLearning skills in NHS workforce –Knowledge and Educational professionals will be able to easily access quality-assured and classified e-learning units designed to suit their needs.
NLH – Contribution to eLearning
• Options Do nothing - Health professionals will have to find alternative methods of
developing eLearning content. This will lead to expenditure in time and development costs.
Identify and build a structured QA’d repository for existing e-learning packages in-house. Will mean more staff will have to be employed to manage this in-house
Identify and build a structured QA’d repository for existing e-learning packages using external suppliers and existing systems/taxonomies. A tender and contract process will need to be instigated.
