e-LEARNING for HEALTHCARE (e-LfH) registration for STI Foundation Course 

The estimated time to complete the sessions is 7–10 hours depending on knowledge and experience.

To get the maximum benefit from the workshops provided by the STI Foundation Theory Course it is highly recommended that delegates study the appropriate e-learning sessions before attending. Once NHS users have registered for e-learning, there is no expiry time on the account.

e-Learning for sexual health & HIV (eHIV-STI)

eHIV-STI is accessible in a number of ways depending on your professional role. If you are employed by the NHS in the UK and have a NHS email address you can register for free access to eHIV-STI via the e-LfH hub by completing the registration form on the e-LfH website: http://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Register

Please note that NHS email addresses include @nhs.net, @trustname.nhs.uk and the equivalent in Scotland, N Ireland and Wales.

All NHS employees can have a NHS email address; if you don't have one but work for the NHS, you need to contact your manager for your NHS email address.

For more information visit: http://systems.hscic.gov.uk/nhsmail/using

You can also access the e-LfH platform through OpenAthens
