Health & Social Care ‘Blended’ Learning Approach

What is ‘Blended’ Learning in Care

Blended Learning is an innovative way to get the most out of your training, and the one-stop solution to all training worries.
It incorporates all methods of training required in the health and social care sector, to ensure that staff are trained to quality standards and become reliable, knowledgeable and confident members of your team.
It is important to recognise that some skills required by staff must be practically taught in a face-to-face setting, to ensure that they can work diligently and at the standard expected when supporting vulnerable individuals.
Online training lifts the burden away from your training by providing all the necessary learning for the underpinning knowledge expected of your staff. It takes the weight off so that you can concentrate on the practical skills needed for mandatory requirements.
Online training is the asset to your face-to-face training, resulting in service compliance.
Blended Learning for your mandatory subjects will end the frustration and lift the pressure and assist your organisation in getting quality trained and competent, compliant staff out working in a timely and efficient manner.

Shifting to a ‘Blended’ Learning approach including E-Learning

Objectives – Define specific and measurable goals for implementing technology. These could include improving efficiency, reducing errors, enhancing communication, increasing collaboration, etc.
Assess Current Training Processes & Needs – Identify the existing workflow and processes in your workplace. Determine where technology can make the most significant impact and solve current challenges.
Develop an Implementation plan – Develop a comprehensive plan that outlines the entire implementation process. This plan should include timelines, roles and responsibilities, resources required, and potential challenges. Allocate sufficient time for training and testing
Training & Skill Development – Prepare your workforce for the technology transition by providing proper training. This might involve workshops, online tutorials, or hiring external trainers. Ensure that employees are comfortable using the new technology and understand its benefits.
Plan in –person Activities – Use face-to-face sessions for activities that require direct interaction, such as group discussions, debates, workshops, and hands-on tasks.
Communication – Communicate & Communicate – Keep lines of communication open. Provide clear instructions for accessing online materials, attending in-person sessions, and seeking assistance when needed
Support & Troubleshooting – Establish a support system for employees who might encounter issues or have questions about the new technology. This could involve a dedicated helpdesk, FAQ resources, or training materials.
Monitor & Evaluate – Continuously monitor the performance of the implemented technology. Collect feedback from employees to identify areas of improvement. Regularly assess whether the technology is meeting the established objectives.
