You may or may not be familiar with FutureLearn or realise that the TEL team now manage the courses offered under the NHS England umbrella. In this blog, Rachel Gowland, Platforms Implementation Manager for TEL, explains how to identify these courses on the FutureLearn website.
Some of the NHS partnership courses on FutureLearn can be accessed for free by eligible NHS learners. This upgrade enables learners to receive a certificate on successful completion of the course, as well as unlimited access to the sessions and materials.
You can search for ‘NHS’ to navigate to a short course provided by the NHS or a partner. Select the webpage and look for the ‘free upgrade’ offer as shown in the image below.
After checking your eligibility, you can submit a request to the NHS Leadership Academy with the name of the course you would like to complete. Once you have completed the verification process, you will receive an invitation to join the course on the next available course run.
