Virtual College is very proud to announce we have been shortlisted in the Best e-learning project - non-profit category for the 2012 e-learning awards organised by e-learning age.
There have been a large number of incidents of medication errors in connection with the administration of insulin to diabetes sufferers in England, resulting in at least four deaths. NHS Diabetes worked with Virtual College to launch a free training course which has seen over 81,000 course registrations of healthcare professionals, and a consequent reduction in medication errors.
In June 2010 the NPSA issued an alert requiring training to be put in place for all healthcare staff who prescribe, handle or administer insulin in England and Wales.
To meet this need to deliver accurate, measurable training quickly and on a large scale NHS Diabetes contacted e-learning provider Virtual College. The principle was to produce an e-learning course on the Safe Use of Insulin that would take around 45 to 60 minutes to complete. The module focuses on four key principles of insulin use: the right type of insulin; the right dose; the right time; and the right way.
