Week 8

tab.png Certificates

 Once you have completed the course there are two ways to get a certificate:

  • Firstly, you can go to the next section (providing you have completed everything) and download a certificate in a pdf format which you can then print. This is a generic certificate and will not have your details on it.
  • Secondly, you can get a validated certificate with your name on by:
    • Going to the next section and completing a survey which is used to capture your details as you would like them on a certificate, and the correct address for posting;
    • Following this link to our LSBU 'Click and Buy' site Links to an external site., ordering the certificate and paying £20 (which covers postage and administrative costs). We will then print a certificate with your name on, stamp it with the LSBU stamp to validate it, and post it out to you at the address you have given.

Canvas closes these MOOC sites quite quickly after the end of week 8, so be sure to get a certificate before that happens.

tab.png Other LSBU MOOCs

 We have three MOOCs starting in January:

  • What Matters: Understanding Mental Health (January 12th): This course is aimed at health care workers in the National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK. There is an expectation that course participants will have an understanding of how health and social care is delivered in the UK, and a reasonable knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the various workers found in NHS and social care settings. However, the material in this course will also be useful for health care workers in other countries, as well as service users and carers. In order to meet the needs of this potentially wide range of participants, the materials are organised into “universal” and “advanced” levels. The learning and teaching materials are supported by a drama that unfolds over six episodes, and follows the journey of Mrs. Carol Price as she becomes ill but goes on to recover.

 

  • Deteriorating Patient: Assessment, Recognition & Management (January 12th): This course is aimed at health care workers in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK who need to understand how to recognise and intervene with a patient whose physical condition deteriorates.
