Also known as Oracle Learning Management (OLM eLearning) Part of Electronic Staff Record (ESR) Enables the delivery of national, local and regional eLearning content in a cost effective way Access to an eLearning catalogue of over 190 national courses http://www.esrsupport.co.uk/nlms/catalogue.html http://www.esrsupport.co.uk/nlms/catalogue.html Flexible learning, wherever you have access to a PC, 24 hours a day Enables access to training from outside work via remote access Your personal training record is always up to date and will go with you if you change positions or transfer to a new Trust

3. eLearning and the Electronic Staff Record (ESR)

4. Why use eLearning? Reduced training time. Sometimes, but not always, eLearning can be quicker than attending a days training to cover the same topic Helps improve Trust compliance with statutory training requirements for the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHS Litigation Authority Improves access to professional training, for example End of Life Care, Radiography, Audiology, Blood Transfusion, Information Governance Limited training resources, i.e. rooms and trainers makes eLearning an essential option Enables a single point of access when using Self Service/Smartcard Access to ESR Starting the journey to ESR Employee/ Manager Self Service

5. Why use eLearning? (2) Learners can study wherever they have access to a computer Self-paced learning modules Development of computer skills that are transferable to other areas of learner's lives Promotes self managed learning Opportunity to provide a blended learning solution Appeals to areas of the workforce that work non-core hours Enables tracking and assessments built into the e-learning courses Appeals to different learning styles

6. Benefits for Staff Learners can study wherever they have access to a computer Access to a large number of nationally recognised courses Improves access to professional training, for example End of Life Care, Radiography, Audiology, Blood Transfusion, Information Governance Development of computer skills that are transferable to other areas of learner's lives Gives learners more options to complete essential training Enables more access to learning for staff who work non-core hours Appeals to different learning styles

7. Why use the NLMS? 7 NLMS To make learning a blended approach Links with QIPP and Clinical Frameworks/ Evaluation (ROI) Aligned with National eLearning Strategy/ Technology Enhanced Learning Strategy Increasing national content to met workforce needs Increasing number of Trusts using nationally >50% National direction to transition from other legacy systems

8. Cost Efficiency Benefits/ Evaluation Example Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Safeguarding Children Level 1 completions in total 3568 (1808 through eLearning, 1760 by face to face). The results are as follows: Average Time for eLearning (allowing 15 minutes to log on) = 49 minutes Average Time for 1 hour face to face (allowing 45mins to travel) = 105 minutes This freed up 1687 hours (70 days) of time over the period of the project (2 months) which would otherwise have been spent away from service delivery
