e Learning across a Deanery Dr Emad George

e. Learning across a Deanery Dr Emad George Associate Dean for SAS Doctors East of England Multi-Professional Deanery

Introduction • Engaging SAS Doctors challenging • How do we promote active participation? • How do we highlight Deanery role? • How do we use SAS Funds for all?

Plan • From discussion with SAS Tutors • Identified need for generic skills in areas of effectiveness & leadership • Skills transferrable to managerial and supervisor roles

So. . • Decided on making specific e. Learning modules available to all SAS Doctors in the Eo. E • Carrot of 2 hours of free CPD

MIAD Learning Bank • Selected 4 modules • Available online for 12 weeks • Would only pay for those who registered to do modules • Hope to get 40 -50% uptake

Support • Individual emails with login details to each doctor • Reminder emails • Regular feedback to Deanery re numbers participating

The Modules • Personal Effectiveness • Influencing Assertively • Understanding Clinical Leadership • Working with Others

Written feedback • “Topics need to be addressed in groups” • “Prefer hands on learning to sitting at a PC” • “These areas I am already aware of” • “Difficult language. . if not brought up in UK”

And. . “You don’t need a course to learn this stuff. If you don’t know it anyway you’re not much of a clinician really. ”

However. . • “Very interesting and useful” • “Very useful…. engaging & easy to remember” • “Good introduction” • “Nice use of practical scenarios”

Questions? ?

Conclusions • e. Learning has some advantages to some but not for others (to be expected) • Better level of registration than expected

Conclusions • The “engaged third” evidenced • You can’t keep all of the people happy all of the time! • But it is worth trying!
