Alongside individual courses, PocketClinician also offers ongoing memberships with additional learning such as ECG challenges, clinical cases and other regularly updated educational content.

Memberships are designed for ongoing learning. Depending on the membership you choose, they can include access to an Academy alongside regularly added challenges, clinical cases and additional educational content.

This means you can choose between purchasing a standalone course or joining a membership if you want continued learning and new opportunities to practise your skills.

If you want structured learning in a specific subject, an individual Academy may be the best place to start. The ECG Academy focuses on ECG interpretation, while the History Taking Academy develops patient history taking, clinical questioning and clinical reasoning.

If you want continued learning beyond an individual course, the ECG and History Taking memberships provide ongoing subject-specific education. The PocketClinician Academy Membership is the all-access option for learners who want to develop across multiple areas of clinical practice.

Lessons can be completed online and at your own pace, making it possible to fit learning around lectures, placement shifts and other commitments. The focus on pre-hospital practice also helps connect academic knowledge with the types of patients, assessments and clinical decisions student paramedics may encounter during placement.

PocketClinician is intended to complement formal university education and supervised clinical learning rather than replace them.

Content focuses on topics relevant to pre-hospital care, including ECG interpretation, patient history taking, clinical reasoning and patient assessment.

Whether you're learning something for the first time or revisiting a subject you've encountered throughout your career, you can use the content according to your existing knowledge and learning needs.

Rather than needing to attend lessons at fixed times, you can work through the available course content when it suits you and return to your learning later. Your learner dashboard also allows you to access your enrolled courses and continue your learning.

This flexibility is particularly useful for paramedics, student paramedics and ambulance clinicians whose working patterns may make traditional scheduled learning difficult.

The dashboard brings your courses together in one place, allowing you to continue learning, view your enrolled courses and find newly available material where applicable.

Your profile also provides an overview of your learning, including information such as course progress, grades and certificates where these are available.

For example, the ECG Academy combines video-based learning with questions and assessments so that learners can actively test their ECG knowledge rather than simply watch lessons.

Where a certificate is available, completed certificates can be accessed through your PocketClinician learner profile, providing a useful record of your learning and professional development.

Membership content remains available while your relevant membership is active and gives you access to the learning included within that membership.

This gives learners the choice between purchasing an individual course for long-term access or choosing a membership for ongoing learning and regularly added content.

Courses may include structured lessons, assessments and certificates that can help provide evidence of completed learning. However, CPD is more than simply collecting certificates. Clinicians should consider how the learning relates to their own scope of practice, identify what they have learned and reflect on how it may influence their clinical practice.

Any CPD should be recorded in accordance with the requirements relevant to your professional role or regulator.
