Identifying which e-Learning is suitable for your care home depends on a number of factors. We would advise making a list of job roles within your care home and which courses might be needed to support each role. Another factor that should be considered is the size of your organisation and the number of care homes. Whether you have one home or 20 homes, we suggest looking into a learning platform that can help support and deliver these e-Learning courses for care homes.
As part of your Learning and Development strategy, deciding on the right platform can be challenging, we suggest an all-in-one Learning Management System, known as an LMS. Not only will this help deliver your e-Learning courses, but it will help track and monitor your Learning and Development for your entire Health and Social Care organisation.
What does e-Learning look like in Health and Social Care?
Many care homes have began implementing digital e-Learning for Health and Social Care to save time and money for their organisation. Which type of e-Learning courses should cover the basics of any Health and Social Care provider. There is ‘Mandatory Training’ which means Health and Social Care Organisations are required to undertake adequate induction training and annual refresher training to ensure they remain up-to-date with regulatory requirements from CQC. These e-Learning training courses commonly include:
- Health and Safety
- Fire Safety
- Equality and Diversity
- Infection Prevention and Control
- Manual Handling
- Food Hygiene/ Food Safety Awareness
