e-learning for health professionals involved in research, audit and quality improvement
This programme is relevant to all healthcare professionals involved in research, audit and quality improvement. This e-learning is arranged into two modules:
Research and audit skills training
The first module, entitled Research and Audit Core Knowledge, helps you to improve your interpretation of healthcare data, such as clinical trials, reviews and audits, and to respond appropriately. It also provides an excellent foundation if you are contemplating a research or audit project.
Links are included to further specialised sources, such as NHS Evidence.
Quality improvement training
The second module, entitled Perioperative Improvement Science and Management (PRISM-ed), has been produced by anaesthetists and experts in the field.
PRISM-ed, which is based on the Improvement Science curriculum from the Royal College of Anaesthetists, outlines key resources required to deliver quality improvements within healthcare. Although the material is designed for doctors, it is relevant and accessible to all healthcare professionals.
PRISM-ed builds on the QI web resource, funded by the University College London Hospitals/National Institute for Health Research.
