The Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) team
TEL provides access to educational technologies, simulation and immersive services, platforms and content and communities of practice which are equitable, efficient and sustainable and are changing how the health and care workforce learns.
Educational technologies allow the NHS to meet the challenges of growing, training and upskilling the workforce at scale and realise financial and time savings. TEL also provides strategic support, guidance and insight across the system, enhancing digital strategies and practices and making evidence-based educational technologies accessible to all.
The Learning Hub
The Learning Hub is a national digital learning platform providing easy access to a wide range of educational resources and support for the health and care workforce and educators. Organisations can contribute and share a wide variety of self-managed content, knowledge and learning resources including elearning, articles, videos, images and more.
The platform also offers individuals access to specialist resources to support their education and professional development locally, regionally and nationally with the ability track and evidence their learning and activity.
Work is underway to migrate the content from elfh onto the Learning Hub to provide a unified platform and single point of access for all learning for NHS and social care staff which will be among the biggest of its type in the world. This is to support growth in platform capability as the Learning Hub delivers the latest technology, offers a better experience for users, and aligns to government digital standards.
