If you are in the medical profession, there are literally thousands of online training courses that can be selected to keep even a long term professional up to date and fully au fait with their disciplines. The nhs sponsor many training courses but there are other means of registering for such focused training. Taking a look through the courses available, there is such a heady mix! Take Management & Leadership skills; Myriad maternity courses, from 8 hours to whole weekends. All the participants need to view the programmes and weigh up whether number 8 of the 8 programmes will be needed but it is up to the candidate. Take maternity subjects for example. To save anyone going through the tragedies we hear about now and then, thee are refresher and update courses on maternal and neonatal deterioration; maternity and neonatal resource hub; maternity insights, closing the loop; maternity resources immediate and essential actions; maternity support worker. Another really serious subject and one that crops up in the media more than ever is medico-legal training.
A subject that frightens so many folk is the thought of demential and as they get older, the need to appoint someone to keep an eye on their affairs will become essential. However, sadly some folk head down the demential tunnel much more quickly than anticipated and sometimes a doctor is needed to ascertain whether the patient still retains mental capacity to make their own decisions. To be able to judge on this requires specific training and regular updating. Courses covering all of the above are available on the nhs learning hub.
