CLIVE – using shared learning to build competence in treating COVID-19

Prior to COVID-19, Royal Derby Hospital set up a clinical learning portal called CLIVE (‘Clinical Learning Is Very Exciting!’) on the Trust intranet, with the aim of sharing interesting cases and learning from clinical events.
In current times CLIVE is being used as a way of maintaining some ‘teaching at a distance’ for medical and nursing staff, as well as keeping in touch with clinical updates. This allows rapid development of competence of managing patients with COVID-19.
This scheme has received praise from the senior leadership team at the trust.
