Training needs

Eloquent is now moving into a new direction.  It is clear that we all have less time and financial resources available for attending training events.  Keeping in mind that the global economy is still in recession and sponsorships are far and in between for educational events such as conferences and also courses.  It is therefore understandable that all over the globe education is now moving into cyber space.  What is more easier than sitting in front of your computer reading through a document, and answering some questions to qualify for CPD points, or by viewing a video clip or listening to a podcast online?  Surely this is more time saving than actually attending a venue, paying for the conference as well as accomodation and travel?

We are currently in the process of going online with our first E-learning course and would like to invite comments from all our readers as to what would be worth your while on E-learning.  The first E-learning course will be te much anticipated "Starting & Running a Private Practice".  This will be available on the Eloquent website at http://www.eloquent.co.za/ within the next 2 months.

Other topics will include:

• Holistic Patient & Wound Assessment
• Utilizing the Wound Bed Preparation Paradigm
• Differentiating between leg ulcers
• Understanding the 60 Second High Risk Diabetic Foot Screening tool
• Pressure Ulcers the new grading systems - how to apply them
• Products: what is available and when to use them

Hope that this will open discussion as to what you would like to learn more about in E-learning.  And also that this is the start of sharing our experiences with one another.  Please let us know what you want.
