Although the GHA is currently under the obvious pressures brought about by Covid-19, today there is some good news for GHA staff. Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar is delighted that, when everything returns to normal, the GHA will introduce Health Education England’s (HEE’s) e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) Hub for all health and care professionals within the GHA, ERS and the Care Agency.
HEE e-LfH Hub is a HEE programme working in partnership with the NHS and professional bodies to support patient care by providing e-learning to educate and train the health and social care workforce and will now become available to our healthcare staff in Gibraltar.

We are indebted to HEE for granting Gibraltar access to this incredible resource that will help empower health professional to upskill. This incredible educational resource has been facilitated by Gibraltarian, Edward Hammond MA BmBCh MRCP FRCA, consultant Anaesthetist of the Royal Devon and Exeter Foundation Trust UK, Clinical Lead e-learning Anaesthesia of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Senior Clinical Adviser for HEE e-Learning for Healthcare.

e-LfH offers more than 280 e-learning programmes and over 24,000 e-learning sessions in partnership with Professional Bodies, including Royal Colleges and Associations, Department of Health and Social Care teams and other bodies including NHS England and Public Health England. These e-learning programmes are recognised as part of the Continued Professional Development (CPD) necessary to keep health professionals registered within their respective professional bodies.
Access is available online 24/7 and covers subjects from audiology to anaesthesia, dentistry to dermatology, emergency medicine to end of life care, primary care to prescribing, safeguarding children to statutory and mandatory training.

The online training sessions enhance traditional learning, support existing teaching methods and provide a valuable reference point. They are designed and built to be engaging and interactive, using quality images, video, audio and animation to help users learn and retain knowledge. Content is presented using various templates such as ‘real-life’ scenarios, case studies and ‘knowledge bites’.
