The future of online healthcare education

Tony Brennan

The field of healthcare is constantly evolving, and with the advent of technology, the way in which we educate future healthcare professionals is also changing.

In this blog post, we will explore the future of online healthcare education and its potential impact on the healthcare industry.

The great news is that the future of professional development for healthcare professionals is looking bright, and it's all thanks to the rise of short duration, online and on-demand micro skills courses.

Gone are the days of having to take time off work or travel long distances to attend professional development workshops. With online and on-demand micro skills courses, healthcare professionals can now learn new skills and knowledge at their own pace and on their own schedule.

These short, focused courses cover a wide range of topics, from clinical skills to leadership development. They are designed to be completed in a short amount of time, usually a few hours to a few days, making it easy for busy healthcare professionals to fit them into their schedules.

One of the major benefits of online and on-demand micro skills courses is that they allow healthcare professionals to stay current with the latest developments in their field. These courses are often developed and taught by experts in the field, providing healthcare professionals with access to the latest research and best practices.

Another big advantage of these courses is that they offer flexibility. Healthcare professionals can access these courses from anywhere, at any time, making it easy to fit professional development into an already very busy schedule.

In conclusion, short duration, online and on-demand micro skills courses are the future of professional development for healthcare professionals. These courses offer a flexible and convenient way for healthcare professionals to stay current in their field and advance their careers. They are efficient, effective and can be accessed from anywhere.

So, if you're looking to take your career to the next level, consider exploring the world of online and on-demand micro skills courses.

Conformance Statement for e-LfH

Our complete Accessibility Conformance Statement can be found on our website.

Accessible Style

We make efforts to support users of different forms of assistive technology (AT) by providing assistive text, subtitles and captions in our e-learning sessions, where appropriate. We also provide a high contrast version of our e-learning sessions for users with vision disabilities. This style can be enabled and disabled by selecting this icon Use high contrast stylesheet in the footer of the session.

Selecting the high contrast style switches off many colour options, making most of the content black and white. Alternative versions of some content is also provided, for instance where it would otherwise be difficult for users with visual impairments or for those users not using a mouse device.

e-Learning for Healthcare's aim is to make this e-learning session as usable and accessible as possible. Please contact us if you require further help, if you have any feedback, or if you would like to report any difficulties.

Access Keys

Access keys let you navigate around the e-learning session without using a mouse or other pointing device.

Table of Access Keys Used

Access keys are intended to provide an alternative form of navigation by using keyboard shortcuts. Please note that only numeric keys have been used in this e-learning session, in an effort to provide the alternative navigtation while not conflicting with any other software that may use access keys or any access keys already defined by the user themselves.

Some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools may not be able to use some of these access keys.
