Introducing the E-Academy A new world of online learning for tissue viability
Wounds UK is in a unique position to provide independent education to healthcare professionals working in the fi eld of tissue viability. By utilising unique Wounds UK resources, such as published articles, book chapters and video presentations, we are able to provide healthcare professionals with online education from a 15-minute professional update with multiple choice questions and completion certifi cate, to online modules accredited by UK universities and the award of postgraduate certifi cates and diplomas. All of these educational offerings can be accessed by the student from any computer with internet access, at a time and speed to suit the student.
The E-Academy offers courses on a range of topics. The courses fall into three broad categories, ranging from short courses to full postgraduate diplomas evaluated and accredited by leading universities.
Professional updates
These short professional update courses are designed to provide an update on critical knowledge areas in just 30 minutes. They offer online content on a range of topics, followed by a short test to check understanding. A certifi cate is provided on completion of the course.
Self-directed distance learning short courses
Wounds UK’s short courses take a more in-depth look at a subject area, taking around 10 hours to complete. Students are given all the materials required to undertake self-directed study at their own pace. Assessment at the end of the course leads to a certifi cate. There is also the opportunity to refl ect on knowledge gained and the impact of the course on clinical practice.
Postgraduate modules
Our full postgraduate modules are accredited by leading universities and offer an academic approach to the study of tissue viability. Each module is accredited with 20 CATS points. Postgraduate courses are fully supported by experienced tutors and provide an ideal route to mixing an academic qualifi cation with a busy working life. Students can set the pace of their own study and complete the course over a time period which suits them, without any travel or accommodation costs along the way. Following completion of three modules, the student will be eligible for the award of a postgraduate certifi cate, and for six modules, a postgraduate diploma.
