Why should I take this course?

This micro skills course from NHS Health Education England provides an introduction to the methods and practices that support evidence-informed clinical decision-making.

Are the programs accredited for continuous professional development (CPD) or continuing medical education (CME)?

Our courses have been developed and are delivered by Talisium's global network of content providers including universities and various professional bodies whose work underpins CPD for healthcare professionals.

Certificates of completion will be available and can be downloaded once a course has been completed. These can be used as evidence of learning for training and CPD purposes. You will need to check with your governing body about CPD standards and requirements.

Unless otherwise stated, certificates issued through Talisium are not qualifications of any formal assessment.

Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?

Our courses and programs have been designed to meet the needs of a broad range of trainees and qualified healthcare professionals. For most courses, we do not ask that you hold certain qualifications or meet certain criteria.

Some courses are aligned to specialist medical curricula so there is a certain level of medical knowledge required in these cases. On the whole, however, the courses and programs are accessible to a broad audience of learners.

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.
