Commissioned by the Department of Health (DH) to support the National End-of-Life Care Strategy (2008), e-ELCA has been developed by the Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland in partnership with e-LfH. It offers around 130 easy to use and interactive e-learning sessions covering all aspects of end of life care such as assessment, advance care planning, symptom management and communication skills.
e-ELCA is a free and innovative e-learning resource that aims to enhance the training and education of all those involved in delivering end of life care. Employers registered with the NMDS-SC will now have access to a user registration code that is available when logged in to their NMDS-SC online account. The code will enable individual employees to self-register for access to e-ELCA.
Although the training resources have been developed mainly by healthcare professionals, Skills for Care believe that the resources are also beneficial for providers of adult social care. While the language and terminology may vary for social care, the fundamental principles of delivering quality end of life care are the same.
