Building on our already successful Trust Preceptorship Programme –this programme aims to ensure that each nurse is equipped with theoretical and specialist skills necessary to safely and compassionately care for patients in surgical wards.  As a streamline approach to career development and progression, this accredited  programme offers multi-modal teaching approaches underpinning the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) Future Nurse Standards and Standards Framework for Nursing and Midwifery Education.

Foundation Tracheostomy Training is designed to support staff working in tracheostomy-designated areas with the completion of the Tracheostomy Proficiency Framework. The course focuses on practical skills, safe tracheostomy care, and best practice to promote patient safety.

The programme covers airway assessment, suctioning, emergency management, and routine care. Key skills in patient monitoring, risk assessment, and safe intervention are also explored.

This non-mandatory course forms part of the framework for developing tracheostomy competency within designated clinical areas.

 This is the fundamental CRRT course for all new members who join the Royal London Hospital critical care.  This e- learning will help you to learn about the different modes of CRRT, anticoagulation methods and AKI. 

The Preceptorship Programme is a period to guide, develop and support all newly registered practitioners to build confidence and competence as they transition from student to autonomous professional. The programme is suitable for nurses, midwives, nurse associates, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, and clinical psychologists who are:

• newly qualified up to 12 months in practice
• internationally recruited after joining the UK register
• Return to practice with updated UK registration
• Transitioning settings (non-acute to acute care, e.g. community to hospital) who have 0-12 months of practice in the new workplace.
• Significant role change (e.g. nurse to midwife, radiographer to sonographer) who has 0-12 months of practice in the new role

This five-day program will develop your understanding of paediatric, adolescent and adult patients living with haemoglobinopathies: Sickle Cell Anaemia and Thalassaemia. You will learn about the pathophysiology of these conditions and their complications. You will learn first-hand from patients and carers about the impact of these haematology conditions on their psychosocial and emotional well-being and activities of daily living. You will be able to develop your knowledge and confidence in recognising complications and treatment of sickle cell disease and thalassaemia patients in your current practice.  

REACT is designed to enhance recognition and management of the acutely ill patient across a range of clinical settings. The course focuses on systematic assessment, clinical decision-making,  and treatment planning to prevent or manage patient deterioration and improve outcomes through early intervention.

The programme reviews the physiology and pathophysiology of the respiratory, cardiac, renal, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. Key skills in patient assessment, monitoring and clinical management are also explored.

This is the first course in this programme of study and must be completed before attending SIREN.

SIREN builds on the knowledge and skills gained in REACT and is designed to further enhance the recognition and management of the acutely ill patient. The course develops staff competence in performing a structured A-E assessment, formulating appropriate management plans, and escalating concerns effectively using an SBAR handover.

SIREN is the second course in this programme of study and must be completed after attending REACT.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major health concern around the world, including in the UK. Pregnant women face higher risks of developing TB than the general population because of changes in the immune system during pregnancy, mainly due to T-cell suppression and reduced interferon-gamma production. Whilst TB is slowly decreasing in the UK, certain groups (such as those from countries with high rates of TB) remain vulnerable and require better access to prevention measures.

This module has been developed to support midwives and their teams in the important role they play in preventing TB. The information is particularly relevant to anyone who is working in an area where there are above average rates of TB. This will usually be in an urban area but TB can occur anywhere with anyone.

By the end of this module you will:

• be aware of the risks to mother and baby associated with TB in pregnancy and childbirth
• understand your role in the prevention of TB
• understand key clinical aspects of TB and LTBI relevant to your practice
• be able to identify someone at risk and take appropriate action to prevent TB
• be able to recommend LTBI testing to eligible women, organise the test and give them their results
• recognise someone who may be suffering with active TB and ensure the appropriate referral is made

Each section ends with a short assessment to enable you to see what you have learnt.
