e-Learning Anaesthesia wins a prestigious national award
e-Learning Anaesthesia awarded gold with e.learning age for 'best online or distance learning project'
e-LfH's e-Learning Anaesthesia project won gold for 'best online or distance learning project' at the e.learning age awards ceremony in London on Thursday 12 November 2009.
The judges were 'bowled over' by this initiative, and were impressed by the way 'it has been enthusiastically embraced by both trainees and exceeded its objectives'.
e-Learning Anaesthesia (e-LA) is an interactive online resource supporting training and professional development in the specialty of anaesthesia. e-LA contains knowledge, revision and self-assessment e-learning sessions to support the delivery of the anaesthetic curriculum in an online format. An extensive e-Library and e-CPD area extend its reach to support specialist continuing professional development and revalidation. Self-directed learning is encouraged and users can access the learning resources at a time and place that suits their individual needs.
Developed by the Royal College of Anaesthetists in partnership with DH e-Learning for Healthcare, it is available for free to anaesthetists practising in the NHS.
Ed Hammond and Andrew McIndoe, Clinical Leads for the e-LA project, said:
"We are delighted to have won this award which recognises the efforts, commitment and expertise of our authors, editors and development team who have worked together to produce a learning resource of outstanding quality for anaesthesia and the NHS."
Dr Pete Nightingale, RCoA President, said:
"e-LA is leading the way in which doctors access high quality training materials both in and out of the workplace. This national award gives further recognition to our e-learning programme. e-LA will ensure that all anaesthetists are trained to the highest standard and are supported to maintain that standard throughout their professional lives."
