Evaluating a novel approach to enhancing dysphagia management: workplace‐based, blended e‐learning
ConclusionsWorkplace‐based, blended e‐learning was an acceptable, cost effective way of delivering essential clinical knowledge and skills about dysphagia. Relevance to clinical practiceDysphagia should be viewed as a patient safety issue because of the risks of malnutrition, dehydration and aspiration pneumonia. As such, it is pertinent to many members of the interdisciplinary team. Consideration should be given to including dysphagia management in initial education and continuing professional development programmes.

Education for nurses working in cardiovascular care: A European survey
Conclusion: There is variability in the content, teaching, learning and evaluation methods in post-registration cardiovascular nurse education programmes in Europe. Cardiovascular nurse education would be strengthened with a stronger focus upon content that reflects current health challenges faced in Europe. A broader view of cardiovascular disease to include stroke and peripheral vascular disease is recommended with greater emphasis on prevention, rehabilitation and the impact of health inequalities.
