NHS Web portal for IT
training
From the UK NHS Information Authority
A new web portal giving users one-stop access to basic IT skills training
will go live on March 21. The portal will give thousands of NHS staff and
health communities the functionality and resources needed to raise skill
levels to the NHS standard for basic IT skills, and to support the
successful implementation of many of the coming NHS IT applications.
The NHS ECDL Portal will include:
- in-application training materials
including pre-assessments and quizzes to aid with self evaluation of
achievement;
- in-application accredited tests online;
- unlimited practise tests allowing
candidates to check their competence prior to taking the actual tests;
- the flexibility to integrate ECDL
instructor led training as part of the programme to help consolidate
new skills; and
- monitoring and tracking of all staff
undertaking this qualification for individual, group, community,
strategic health authority and NHS-wide reporting.
