Locums e-learning – Accessing Health Education England e-learning for health:
Locum pharmacists wishing to complete the recommended training for the Pharmacy Contraception Service may have difficulty accessing the Health Education England e-learning for healthcare (elfh) training (Home – elearning for healthcare (e-lfh.org.uk)), if their HEE training account is registered through a private email address rather than a work email address.
If this is an issue, then you can access this training via either of the following:
- You can access the required learning on elfh via your CPPE account.
- Alternatively, you can provide your GPhC number to elfh via email to: supportnet@e-lfh.org.uk, who can increase your access within your elfh account.
