Since April 2008, NHS Choices has been training professionals, either in face-to-face workshops or online, to use the website with patients and clients. The training gives people a comprehensive understanding of NHS Choices and how it can support their work. Thousands of library and UK online staff and health professionals, including nurses, health trainers and social care professionals, have completed the training programme, and many more have benefited from "cascade training" locally.
Online tutorials
The popular short tutorials allow the trainee to do the training programme online in their own time. The programme consists of 12 video tutorials, each between five and ten minutes long. It shows how to complete practical tasks with a client, such as finding local services, using interactive tools to support behaviour change, or creating bespoke information prescriptions.
