“…Despite the advent of the National Health Service (NHS) Connecting for Health agenda (NHS, 2006) that seeks to increase the use of computers to support patient care and learning in the NHS, there remains a lack of computing facilities in many areas. Where computers and internet access were available the need for pass words and competing priorities for use prevent student access for learning (Gilchrist and Ward 2006;Gerrish et al, 2006;Ward and Moule, 2006). These resourcing issues limited the scope of e-learning and teaching use in practice settings supporting undergraduate students and staff completing continuing professional development courses.…”

In this paper we present aspects of a study that scoped e-learning implementation in nursing and health science disciplines throughout the UK and explored the factors affecting use. Data related to the use of technologies are presented here. While there are many drivers for the use of e-learning, the current scope of engagement in nursing and health science disciplines is unknown and variations in adoption have not been explored. A postal questionnaire sent to a purposive sample of 93 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) obtained data from 25 universities (response rate of 28%) related to their uptake and development of e-learning. Questionnaire data was analysed using descriptive statistics. From this, nine HEIs were identified, reflecting a range of levels of engagement in e-learning. Data was collected through 35 staff interviews across the sites. Qualitative data from the interviews was transcribed to allow thematic analysis. Though e-learning adoption and use vary across the sector, the predominant learning and teaching engagement is instructivist and managed through a virtual learning environment. There is limited experimentation with e-learning and teaching use, linked to key centres of excellence and the efforts of ‘champions’. It is suggested that a more systematic approach to development and funding is required to achieve enhanced use of e-learning.

“…Ali et al (2004) also identified that accessing computers and especially the Internet for study purposes at work is difficult for some nurses. Gerrish et al (2006) also found that barriers to midwives' and nurses' use of computers at work include not enough time, insufficient computers, and nonsupportive colleagues. Negative attitudes from colleagues regarding undertaking computer-based to undertake critical thinking and problem solving in clinical practice (Riddell, 2007;Vacek, 2009).…”

It is recommended that all pregnant women should receive a comprehensive oral health evaluation because poor maternal oral health may affect pregnancy outcomes and the general health of the woman and her baby. Midwives are well placed to provide dental health advice and referral. However, in Australia, little emphasis has been placed on the educational needs of midwives to undertake this role. This article outlines the development of an online education program designed to improve midwives’ dental health knowledge, prepare them to assess the oral health of women, refer when required, and provide appropriate dental education to women and their families. The program consists of reading and visual material to assist with the oral health assessment process and includes competency testing.
