Health Knowledge eLearn module on ScreeningThe new Health Knowledge module on screening is an excellent, really easy to understand, ‘interactive learning module’ covering all the basics of screening. It has been developed by Dr Angela Raffle who has many many years of experience in screening. It is split into chapters so that it is easy to work through. This comprehensive yet succinct module on screening will help the experienced practitioner to expand their teaching methods, and it will get the novice up to speed on the evaluation and delivery of screening. The first part covers evidence about screening, and the second part (to be added March 2010) will comprise four further chapters covering skills relating to application of this evidence in daily practice. |
