Finding the correct e-Learning courses to compliment your existing Learning and Development strategy can be a complicated and time-consuming project. We suggest looking at which e-Learning courses are needed and best suited to both your Health and Social Care organisation and the job roles you have within your teams. Not only will this highlight any obvious options for learning and development but it’ll identify which e-Learning can be part of your toolkit, as part of a Learning Management System.
How to utilise e-Learning within Health and Social Care
Suitable e-Learning courses are often supported within a Learning Management System (LMS). An intuitive LMS can support different types of learning styles across your Health and Social Care organisation. The best way to utilise a Learning Management System is to produce a Learning and Development strategy to support your staff’s training growth and maintain your care organisations compliance. The fundamental benefit to a Learning Management System is that it helps automate and strategically plan your e-Learning journey, meaning a flawless e-Learning journey for your entire team.
The key benefit to having a Learning Management System in place within Health and Social Care is to support organisations achieve the minimum standard and maintain compliance for regulatory inspections, such as CQC inspections in England. A Learning Management System will not only benefit Health and Social Care organisations, but also the learner as they can manage their own learning journey, stay up-to-date with Mandatory Training and complete adequate induction training and annual refresher training.
