Who are they

The Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust serves a community of over 1.5 million people. The Trust employees 6,500 substantive clinical staff and up to 3,000 temporary staff within the Hospital.

The challenge

By March 2020 it was clear that COVID-19 was a fast-moving and deadly pandemic. Admissions of COVID-positive patients were increasing every day.

The Trust urgently needed to get its entire clinical workforce up to speed.

The solution

The Trust chose the Academy Point LMS because of its ability to integrate seamlessly with its own HR system, making it easy to add, remove and manage learners. Plus, the Academy Point LMS was found to be particularly easy to use and matched visually to the Trust’s brand identity and colours, making it a home-from-home for staff.

With a great working relationship already in place, the start of the pandemic saw Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust working intensely with the Academy Point team to make the impossible happen.

It was a wonderful example of how the NHS and private sector worked together in very challenging times.

The result

The NHS trust has been able to cut the length of classroom training sessions as staff now have access to a (growing) range of relevant materials, making it much easier to deliver a blended approach.

New staff now have immediate access to all the COVID resources and helpful information they needed, which they can revisit any time, anywhere.
