A knowledge of the language of medicine is of great benefit to non-clinical staff working in a healthcare setting. The purpose of this course is to improve the medical terminology understanding of non-clinical staff to assist with communication in clinical areas.

This course introduces participants to the language of medicine and teaches the tools necessary for word analysis. There are 14 lessons begining with word structure, then medical terms and acronyms for specific body systems are introduced, along with a brief review of the structure and function of the body system for context. Body systems covered include the Digestive, Reproductive, Nervous, Cardiovascular and Musculoskeletal systems. Each lesson contains puzzles and multiple choice questions to reinforce learning.

The course culminates with a test.

The lessons should be worked through in order, and the course is available to participants for 26 weeks after enrolment.

The eAssessment will examine knowledge of the Mental Health Act (1992). This eAssessment is a mandatory requirement of all new clinical staff.
If workers are ill-informed on the provisions of the Act. service users may be treated inappropriately, under-treated or inappropriately detained. It is important that workers are confident that they have the required business knowledge, and that they have met the required standard of achievement. Well-designed and well-integrated testing and assessment strategies provide very real benefits to the learner, the trainer and the organisation.
