LMS improves NHS Trust efficiency

The Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Trust has increased efficiency and reduced the cost of administration with the acquisition of a new Learning Management System (LMS) from AccessPlanit.
The learning and development department of the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust which processes over 15,000 course bookings per year, found its NHS standard issue LMS to be slow, inflexible and time consuming. After looking at a range of software providers, the team selected AccessPlanit to create a system that meets the Trust’s key requirements.
The LMS is designed to manage the entire learning process – from enrolling students and tracking their progress, to delivering tests and reporting costs. The most tangible benefit of the system is that through its streamlined process, the trust can easily train, manage and report on its current users with only six part-time system administrators.
Paul Mendes, head of learning and development at the Trust, said: “AccessPlanit were swift to reply to our requests for information and have a flexible approach to customisation which was refreshing after the ‘we-know-best’ attitude we had encountered with many other suppliers.”
David Evans, commercial director at AccessPlanit said, “Accelerated course bookings and easy access to information will massively reduce the burden on the learning and development department, thus freeing up time for service improvement.”
