BMJ Learning - the training you need at the time you want

Have you taken a look at the hundreds of e-learning resources available from BMJ Learning?

Aimed at a broad range of healthcare staff BMJ e-learning resources are available as one of the following learning modules:
· Just in time – for fast evidence based updates
· Interactive case histories – test your knowledge with multiple choice questions
· Read, reflect and respond – offers a range of scenarios for you to comment on

All modules are peer reviewed to ensure quality.

You can set up your own personal learning plan to record the modules you take. Some modules lead to CME points and some enable you to print a certificate upon completion.

You will need your Athens username and first time users will need to register with the site itself. Once you have completed the registration you will only need your Athens details in future.

BMJ Resources are available online from work or home. A leaflet explaining how to set up your learning plan is available from the Library and staff are happy to advise.
