We are consistently striving to expand our selection of self-paced online courses, allowing you to complete them conveniently at your own preferred schedule. Below is a list of the courses we offer:
|
|
|
|
|
Skin Tone in Clinical Assessment and Research
|
This one-hour CPD programme emphasises the importance of skin tone diversity in healthcare. It covers skin biology, classification systems, and disparities in medical diagnosis, treatment, and research.
The course highlights the lack of diverse representation in medical education materials, simulation models, and clinical studies, which perpetuates inequities in care. It also explores the challenges in diagnosing conditions across different skin tones and the integration of emerging technologies and AI to reduce bias.
|
|
|
Clinical Trials - Running a Cancer Clinical Trial
|
This CPD course builds on Clinical Trials – From development to opening to provide further practical knowledge for those involved in research. The course will help you to ensure your trials are conducted effectively, including how to identify and address potential risks.
You will learn how to assess if a trial is viable and the ethical and regulatory duties of those leading studies. Data management and statistics are also covered to ensure accurate analysis of trial results. Finally, the course explores the clinical trials landscape in Ireland and the organisations involved in clinical research.
|
|
|
|
|
Quality healthcare requires clear and effective communication between healthcare professionals, teams, and patients. In this course, we will focus on one particular area of healthcare communication: clinical handovers. This online course aims to support clinicians in developing the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively prepare and participate in clinical handover.
|
|
|
Communication Skills for Video and Telephone Consultation
|
Video and telephone consultations in healthcare are not new, but the COVID-19 crisis forced many clinicians to rapidly take up these kinds of consultations as a feasible alternative to face-to-face consultations. This is often a type of consultation that staff has not encountered before. Applying the Calgary-Cambridge guide to video and telephone calls provides a structured and safe approach to this virtual format.
|
|
|
|
|
The course is presented as a series of recorded one-hour modules. Each module, involving a separate specialty theme, will involve case-based discussions with a variety of guest speakers. Slides covering the content are provided, and a short series of MCQs based on the content covered is completed to complete the module.
|
|
|
ECG Interpretation in the Emergency Department
|
This online course uses a case discussion format to revise the basics of ECG Interpretation for Emergency Medicine physicians. This online platform allows candidates to access the recorded content on demand, with the facility to repeat more challenging modules as desired. Candidates are required to complete a quiz at the beginning and end of the course.

|
|
|
Clinical Trials – From development to opening
|
Cancer clinical trials are pivotal research studies that aim to advance our understanding of cancer and develop new treatment options. They involve rigorous testing of novel therapies, drugs, or interventions to assess their safety and efficacy in real-world patient scenarios.
|
|
|
Introduction to Green Surgery
|
This short course explores the contribution of surgery to climate change and examines interventions that can lead to reduced greenhouse gases and reduce the climate impact of surgery.
|

The course covers material which we believe is fundamental to understanding the current state of surgical robotics in the market and the skills necessary to safe and effectively utilise this technology in your everyday surgical practice. This course is designed for any healthcare professional wanting to develop their knowledge and understanding of surgical robotics, including surgeons, trainees, medical students, nurses, and technicians.
