Workforce, training and education
Yorkshire and Humber

The Yorkshire and Humber Deanery has launched a Virtual Learning Environment called Blackboard Learn, along with the Blackboard Collaborate video conferencing solution, to deliver teaching and training across the region.

As an anaesthetic trainee in the region, you are now eligible to register for and activate your account which will give you access to the School of Anaesthesia's secure area within Blackboard. There you will find educational material 'courses'), presented as modules mapped to the curriculum. It is also where you will access Collaborate, which will be used as a video conferencing medium for live teaching sessions.

HELP is a portal that the Deanery has created to offer wider accessibility to Blackboard Learn and Collaborate. HELP is where you will find and sign up to ('enrol onto') any anaesthetic education modules you wish to undertake. Once you have enrolled onto a module, it will become visible in your Blackboard account.
