Over 95,000 healthcare professionals have used NICE’s online learning modules to improve their knowledge of key clinical areas since their launch in 2005.
Currently, there are 27 online modules on a whole host of topics ranging from anxiety disorders to tuberculosis. The modules, developed in collaboration with BMJ Learning, form part of NICE’s education programme set up to meet the learning needs of healthcare professionals and designed to empower them to overcome any potential barriers in their day to day work.
Up to December 2009, figures reveal that a total of 95,816 clinicians have completed NICE e-learning modules.
The NICE education programme also provides final year medical students with four e-learning modules designed to fill in any gaps in medical education between the theory of evidence based medicine and how to put this into practice.
The modules are accessible for medical students through e-Learning for Health and were developed after a survey by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine found that the education on evidence-based medicine in UK medical schools is generally patchy and mainly focused on literature searches and critical appraisal skills.
