This paper considers the case for e-learning in the NHS. It highlights the findings of a three-month research project into the requirements for e-learners within clinical teams and the access to technology needed to support e-learners. The research was based on a three-month e-learning pilot using e-learning materials from three providers. Learners were recruited for the study by electronic means and by word of mouth. A questionnaire was administered before they began any learning, at eight weeks and then again at three months. The questionnaires were administered electronically, with a response rate of over 78%. Qualitative data were gathered from a discussion group and via e-mail responses to follow-ups from the questionnaire.

Key Words: E-learning • Nursing and leadership • Development
