Immunotherapy Training | Bespoke E-Learning for NHS Staff
Client: UCLH NHS Foundation Trust
Case Study Overview: Enhancing Cancer Education through E-Learning
EL Healthcare Education partnered with UCLH NHS Foundation Trust to create four bite-sized immunotherapy e-learning modules for secondary care staff.
​
The project aimed to enhance awareness of immunotherapy treatments and support pharmacists, junior medics, nurses, and A&E personnel in identifying key clinical issues related to immunotherapy patient management.
​
This initiative was co-designed with content specialists and funded through an Independent Medical Education Grant from Pfizer Limited, ensuring high-quality, evidence-based digital learning resources tailored for healthcare professionals to lead patient care improvement.
Objectives: Addressing Key Challenges in Immunotherapy Education
Provide a clear understanding of immunotherapy treatments for secondary care professionals.
Enable real-world application of immunotherapy knowledge through interactive case studies.
Develop engaging, flexible digital online learning materials to fit busy clinical schedules.
Improve healthcare professionals’ ability to recognise and manage immunotherapy-related side effects.
Our Approach: Co-Designed Learning for Maximum Impact
Collaborative Course Design
Using our custom learning design workshop, EL Healthcare Education worked with UCLH NHS Foundation Trust content specialists to:
​
-
Define clear learning objectives and structured course content.
-
Identify key learner needs and develop engaging, practical activities.
-
Create a collaborative storyboard reviewed by stakeholder groups before development.
​
This approach ensured that the bespoke e-learning solutions aligned with real-world clinical scenarios.
The Solution: Digital Learning Materials for Immunotherapy Training
Animations for Healthcare Training
A crucial component of this training was to simplify complex immunotherapy principles using scientific animations. These animations made it easier for learners to grasp mechanisms of action, immune responses, and side effects.
