Turas eLearning Modules
The Children with Exceptional Healthcare Needs (CEN) Network exists with the aim of strengthening specialist services for children with complex and exceptional healthcare needs throughout Scotland. Specifically, children and young people under 19 years of age who require ventilator support, tube or intravenous feeding and have several other serious health or developmental problems. Further information on CEN criteria can be found by visiting the national managed clinical network site.
CEN has just launched a suite of Turas eLearning modules, these follow three key themes that were identified by families as being paramount to making the reality of their lives, and their child’s healthcare, as good and as comprehensive as it can be.
These themes are Communication, Coordination and Compassion.
Each of these modules is relevant for anyone who encounters children and young people (CYP) in their work, and will help the learner to understand more about the lived experience of those they care for. These modules will guide and teach practitioners from any discipline or profession how to act in ways that respect the individual in their care
We hope you will enjoy this learning experience and go on to share your knowledge and skills with others. The journal is a useful record of learning which can support embedding that learning in your own workplace. The reflective journal could be used as part of the Turas Professional Portfolio, as evidence of learning. Please do let us know your evaluation of these resources by using the links provided.
The Modules can be accessed on Turas at – https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/60619
A poster which illustrates the development process of these modules was presented at the NES 2022 conference in May 2022, a copy of which can be found below.

How do you want me to Talk to you?
These short videos offer insight into the ‘lived experience’ of children and families coping with complex disabilities affecting communication or oral feeding. All those working in health or social care can learn from those who rely on our services and are willing to tell us ‘how it feels’.
