Further Information: Links between e-Learning and staff retention, workforce qualifications and the quality of care are considered in all areas of the workforce.

If your organisation is adopting an e-Learning approach to training staff, then you need to find out if, as a result of its introduction:

  • they are staying in their jobs longer
  • they are gaining more qualifications
  • the quality of the care they offer is improving,

You can do this by introducing:

  • pilots
  • evaluations
  • surveys
  • making comparisons with previous delivery methods.

The National e-Learning Framework explains this in detail indicating that potential for e-Learning is to maximise and support the delivery of training and education within the healthcare sector and ensure more equitable access to training opportunities.
