We’re constantly evolving our library of care courses, with well over 100 now available for free to learners via the FuturU app. And today, we’re sharing details of three new courses which have just launched.

Whether you’re looking to bolster your cyber security knowledge, master advanced seizure treatments or improve your chest physiotherapy skills, our latest courses will empower you with the practical skills, knowledge and confidence to care effectively. 

Let’s dive in.

Cyber Security in Care

In today’s digital age, safeguarding patient data is paramount. And with our new Cyber Security in Care course, you can equip yourself with the essential skills needed to protect sensitive information. 

This innovative online course adopts a story-led approach, immersing you in a hospital setting where there’s been a data breach. It’s your job to engage with different characters to learn about cyber security and what you’d need to do in the event of a breach. 

By the end of this course, you’ll develop a strong understanding of cyber security principles and how to apply them in your everyday work.

Advanced Seizure Treatments

Building on FuturU’s existing Epilepsy and Seizure Management course, the new Advanced Seizure Treatments course will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the most up-to-date treatments. Covering a wide range of treatments and some medications, this course is designed to be flexible, allowing learners to focus on specific areas of interest and easily refresh their knowledge as needed.

Advanced seizure treatments covered in this course include:

  • Buccal Midazolam
  • VNS
  • Paraldehyde
  • Rectal Paraldehyde
  • Rectal Diazepam. 

Chest Physiotherapy Awareness

Our new Chest Physiotherapy Awareness course is tailor-made for carers working with individuals who have difficulty moving or breathing. 

While not a comprehensive chest physiotherapy training, this course focuses on the practical techniques you can use to help individuals clear their lungs and improve breathing. This includes how to loosen and lift fluid and solids that might build up in the lungs, and how to look after someone that’s receiving chest physiotherapy.

Through video demonstrations and realistic story-led scenarios, you’ll gain confidence in providing effective care.
