Polypharmacy is now part of everyday healthcare — but it carries risks, from drug interactions to reduced quality of life. In our podcast series Safe Prescribing: Navigating CYP3A and Polypharmacy, we explore how prescribers can make safer choices, drawing on expert insights, patient stories, and the latest developments in pharmacogenomics and AI.

The NHS is entering a new chapter—one shaped by artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and data-driven care. From streamlining clinical workflows to supporting earlier diagnoses, AI in the NHS has the potential to ease pressure on services, enhance patient outcomes, and free up time for what matters most: human connection in care.  But for this future to become a reality, one critical piece must be in place:  👉 a confident, capable healthcare workforce that understands h

Pancreatic cancer is often referred to as a “silent killer”—and for good reason. Its symptoms are vague, its onset subtle, and its detection notoriously difficult. Tragically, this means that most people are diagnosed too late, when treatment options are limited and outcomes are poor.  But one group of healthcare professionals may hold the key to earlier detection: community pharmacists. 

Micro-assistants are small AI tools that live inside the course content. Each one is designed to support a specific learning task at a particular moment in the journey. They’re not chatbots in a sidebar or generic digital tutors. Instead, they’re embedded into the flow of learning — in SCORM packages, mobile apps, or web-based modules — and aligned with the course goals.

Arts-based approaches are no longer a fringe idea in healthcare. In the UK, they are increasingly recognised as valuable tools for improving health and wellbeing — not as “nice extras,” but as essential components of a broader, more sustainable approach to care.

When budgets are tight, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) can sometimes be seen as a secondary priority — something desirable, but optional. But CPD is not a luxury. It is critical infrastructure — for maintaining safe practice, adapting to change, supporting career development, and sustaining a healthy, motivated workforce. Failing to invest meaningfully in CPD has real consequences — not only for individual professionals, but for healthcare organisations

In healthcare education, budget decisions shape learning outcomes. When budgets are limited — as they often are — it’s essential to think carefully about where investment will have the greatest impact. It’s tempting to prioritise highly produced visuals — slick videos, animated explainers — and these can absolutely have a place. But when the primary goal is changing practice, building confidence, and supporting behaviour change, there are often other areas where investme

We believe healthcare education should be flexible, relevant, and empowering. That’s why we’re excited to announce something big: The EL Learning App is now available on iOS and Android. Built for busy professionals like you, it’s your new hub for trusted CPD, on-the-go learning, and peer support.

Traditional CPD often demands large blocks of time. Mobile learning changes that. When learning can happen in five-minute moments, it stops being a task you have to carve out special time for — and starts becoming something that naturally fits into your day. Our mobile app ELELearn offers a way to engage with learning in small, flexible moments — while also being part of a broader community of healthcare professionals committed to growth.

Healthcare professionals are often portrayed as being resistant to online learning. But the truth is, they have good reasons for feeling frustrated with what’s often been offered to them.

When it comes to professional development, especially in healthcare, there’s often an unspoken assumption: If you want participatory, community-driven learning, it has to be face-to-face. But that’s not the full picture anymore.

Blended learning in healthcare offers a more equitable, flexible alternative to traditional CPD. Explore why thoughtful design—not location—defines quality learning.
