I'm really interested in what people think about e - leanring modules. I work at BMJ Learning, and we're looking at new module types, and subject areas. what length of module do you like? do you use them for new learning or revision? Maybe you could share your favourite learnign module BMJLearning or otherwise! |

hi helen! i discovered e learning last year after my appraisal and find it the best thing since sliced bread! i love the variety of topics, the fact i can do a module whenever i have time and choose a topic of interest to me or because it is at the time clinically relevant rather than going to the same old talk on osteoporosis, heart disease and diabetes...!! i like any modules up to an hour but think about half an hour is good. i like the ones with case studies mixed with info. i would hope it will be more recognised in the future. i'm not sure where we stand with that at the moment. i think as wide a range as possible on nice would be good.keep up the good work! anja

Hi I used the BMJ learning site quite a bit... before appraisal. I haven't logged in for a while but I remember thinking there could be MORE. I'll log in and let you know my up-to-date thoughts. AM |

Hi, We are very grateful for any feedback you can give us about BMJ Learning. What topics should we cover? What learning needs are least satisfied by your current provision locally. Grateful for any ideas. BW, Kieran

Would you be able to link in BMJ learning into the new RCGP 'credits' system of learning? I would be interested in how other GPs are using the BMJ learning modules as a springboard into further learning and ultimately improving patient care. For example did they discuss the module at a practice meeting and then do an audit of patients? Are they planning on now looking up the NICE guidance in that area? Did it alter their management of a patient? Hearing what other GPs are doing would provide ideas that may help colleagues in expanding their learning. I know I would find it useful. What do others think?

I think e-learning is a great way of enhancing professional development, as otherwise our knowledge is based on facts we learnt in medical school (which is obviously outdated now) and on whatever senior we happen to have been working with that day (unless of course you are a diligent and studious doctor who keeps up to date with best practice on a regular basis). With learning modules we can trust that they are based on the latest evidence. The only thing I would say is that it might be good to have some shorter modules, that could be done when we only have 10-15 minutes to spare during the day.

I'm an FY1 and am finding E-learningf very useful. If I come across a new problem at work I use the site to consolidate my knowledge and brush up a little - Its especially helpful with the changing times e.g. the new crem forms. What would be really helpful is if someone could map the modules to the foundation curriculum, as many modules seem to be suitable for everyone from FY1 to consultant in every speciality.
