Point of Care Testing
Currently the ‘Point of Care’ team based in Clinical Laboratory Medicine have produced there first e-learning package to update and assess the competence of users of the Roche b123 Blood Gas analysers. The first e-learning package has been posted on the ‘Point of Care Testing’ section of the ELHT OLI Intranet. By completing and passing the e-learning exam the system automatically renews the operators access to the blood gas analysers for a further time period without any manual input. It is anticipated that the b123 Blood Gas E-learning package will be fully launched by the end of April 2015.
The ‘Point of Care’ team plans to extend the subject range of our e-learning training packages available to junior medical staff in the future with the inclusion of additional training packages for Point of care devices. For additional information contact Saj Ulldin, Associate Practitioner from the Point of Care Team, Saraj.Ull-Din@elht.nhs.uk
The advantages of the E-learning Package are that staffs do not need to attend offsite training, the operator can access at time convenient to them and their department and time invested in logging assessment training is saved by automation.

Pharmacy
Pharmacy staff provide teaching sessions to FY1s regarding evidence based prescribing in specific therapeutic topics throughout the year. The opportunity to apply knowledge is provided via the use of case studies, simulations and question and answer sessions. One-to-one support is available either on request or where prescribing errors have been identified. Ward based pharmacists are available to provide support and information to all doctors regarding prescribing decisions. FY2s are supported in DCT (developing the clinical teacher) during regular classroom sessions throughout the year. Lessons learned are discussed during teaching sessions with all foundation doctors.
