We will uncover the true benefits of what an LMS for Health and Social Care means and how it can benefit your organisation. Firstly, an LMS is known as a Learning Management System, this can be used in a variety of ways to improve Learning and Development, regardless of the organisation size.
Larger Organisations will benefit from efficiency and streamlined e-Learning for their entire organisation. The options for an LMS to be as automated as possible is often linked to organisations saving hours on admin time by allowing Learning Pathways to guide specific roles to complete required training which can be organised during the onboarding stage with admin users.
Smaller organisations will also benefit from efficiency, and structure when it comes to arranging e-Learning, as an LMS is a simple and effective solution to prove compliance when needed. The option to integrate with systems already in place can also aid smaller organisations that may need an extra level of support towards their Learning and Development.

Depending on your current resources, a well-built and intuitive LMS should fit around your pre-existing systems and your Learning and Development strategy. The LMS provider should organically fit in within your care organisation and act as an extension of your Learning and Development Team, by offering you unlimited support before, during and after the implementation.
What to look for in a new Learning Management System:
We always advise to do some background work before booking in a consultation with a training provider. This will not only make you aware of the key points needed to support your organisation, but it’ll give you a better understanding of how your next LMS can compliment your Learning and Development. We recommend being mindful of the following:
- Review your current learning and development needs.

- Compile a list of requirements based off your review.
- Research Learning Management System Providers. Consider how they already work in health and social care, and begin looking at reviews.
