Virtual learning environments are becoming increasingly common as educational tools for health professionals.

This online accredited module was designed by Birmingham City University for health and social care professionals working as specialists - specifically those whose jobs could be at risk.

The material and activities within the programme enable them to effectively understand, discuss, evaluate and actively prove their worth, as well as undertake projects to improve the quality of patient care.

The resource allows users to study the material at a time and place that is convenient to them.

This downloadable resource - Online education for specialists - summarises the course and provides the contact details of the lead.
