New Congenital Heart Disease E Learning programme launched

The North West Nursing and Midwifery team have worked with the North West Congenital Heart Disease Network stakeholders and HEE's e-Learning for Healthcare to develop a new e learning programme focussing on congenital heart disease.

The programme provides a basic but essential overview of this condition and highlights the advances in paediatric care that have resulted in increasing numbers of patients surviving into adult life. The programme takes approximately 2 hours to complete and consists of 3 eLearning sessions:

• An introduction to congenital Heart Disease
• An introduction to the neonate or Infant with Congenital Heart Disease
• Acute presentations in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

This programme is aimed at all NHS clinical staff who are not specialists in this subject but may need to care for patients with congenital heart disease in their current role.  For more information about the programme visit the e-LfH website.
