Experiences in other countries
• 10’s of countries throughout the world • New Zealand• Saudi Arabia • International channel
BMJ Learning and customised websites
• We could create a customised channel for you and/or your clinicians
BMJ Learning and customised websites
A customised channel could contain: • a home page – which you could control and change
as you saw fit • a modules page – you could populate the site with
learning modules• a plan and record• an about assessment page• a curriculum and competencies page – you could
control this.
Any site could be co-branded.
BMJ Learning and customised websites
You can be as involved as you like in the creation of a customised channel. • You may choose a light touch approach where you
change only the text on the home page at set intervals• Or you may choose a more hands on approach
where you would be responsible for content creation according to a fixed template and the text of all the web pages
BMJ Learning and customised websites
Division of responsibilities
• Who would do what - we would also need to decide on ownership and governance
Basic Customization of BMJ Learning for the RNZCGP
Front Page news or announcements can be changed Logo can be integrated
Logo can be integrated on each page
Logo can be integrated on each page
Curriculum and assessment can include local details about your specific curriculum in New Zealand and how and if you make assessments. At the moment you can see this covers the UK GP curriculum but we can change this to information on New Zealand which you can decide upon
Logo can be integrated on certificate page or text
Reporting
• Number of visitors• Number of hits• Number of modules accessed • Improvement in scores • Feedback • Who did what• Increasing sophistication

Editorial strategy
The goal of BMJ Learning
To become to best available provider of high quality interactive and independent learning resources for a wide number of interdisciplinary health professional audiences.
Current statusBMJ Learning provides a wide variety of online learning resources to cater for learners with different learning styles. It provides:
• Interactive case histories (these involve a pre-test, a number of interactive case presentations and a post-test)
• Just in time learning resources (these are evidence based reviews with assessment questions at the end)
• Read reflect respond learning resources (these are reflective type modules about ethical issues or professionalism)
• BMJ Masterclass highlights (these are a series of radio interviews with speakers from BMJ Masterclass – our face-to-face learning events)
• Multimedia modules (these contain state of the art multimedia and interactivity).
Processes for deciding on content
We decide what topics to publish modules on according to two processes:
• Needs assessment • Curriculum-led services • We work with a wide variety of health professionals to
help us decide on CME content. This includes working GPs, medical educationalists, speciality journal editors and academic leaders.
Processes for deciding on content (2)
• “hot topics”• the BMJ itself• monthly specialist journals • BMJ Clinical Evidence • external resources: national and international
guidelines, national service frameworks, other journals.
The future
• Critical mass of content so that we can provide learners with a one stop shop targeted resource
• The needs of our core audience GPs and GP trainees and also general physicians within hospital medicine and foundation doctors
• The needs of new audiences- Prehospital care- Emergency medicine physicians - Other specialists (journal related CME)- Medical students
The future
New types of content
• Video procedures• Emergency videos • Non-clinical – leadership• New assessment formats – EMQs
