There are a range of NHS and other national initiatives concerned with medicines that create a potential need for training of clinical staff – be they pharmacy staff, nurses, doctors or others. In the index in this Medicines Q&A we have identified these topics, and where possible e-learning or similar products already available to train staff. The definition of e-learning varies according to source, but here we have taken it to mean simply an electronically delivered method of self-directed teaching. Materials were identified using a standard search pattern for the internet.
