The CapitalNurse Digital Career Framework tool was launched on January 17th 2018

 

The CapitalNurse DigitalCareer Framework tool was launched on January 17th 2018 at a prestigious event at Connaught Hotel. It has been a great project to work on because it makes full use of Axia Digital’s knowledge and expertise.

The CapitalNurse Digital Career Framework is a free-to-use digital career tool for all nurses, designed to advance a London-wide approach to career progression.  It enables nurses to reflect on their practice, receive and review feedback from peers and service users and have a structured career conversation with a facilitator.

We are delighted to have been able to work on this project because we can offer our longstanding involvement in Career Development; our intimate understanding of the nursing profession and our ability to apply the latest technology to create a highly sophisticated but easy to use tool.

One of the first major projects the company developed was Learndirect Futures which helped Adults discover their skills and interests and use this information to identify career options for them. It also included a full range of tools that were designed to help individuals develop their careers. Our involvement with the Careers development has continued and we supply the online national Register of Careers Professionals.

Nursing, Midwifery and other Allied Health Professionals have always been at the heart of this company’s work. One of our first sites was the Learning Zone for the Royal College of Nursing and we now support members of Health professional bodies capture evidence of their Continuous Professional Development in the UK, Ireland and internationally. We have also converted the paper assessment documents for Undergraduate programmes at several Universities into a digital format.In terms of the technology that supports this CapitalNurse Digital Career Framework tool the company has recently been exploring the innovative ways that 360 feedback tools can be used to support Career Progression.

Chris Peat, Customer Services Director comments that ,

‘It is great to have been able to work on a project that flows from so much from the work we have been engaged in since the company’s formation over twenty years ago. We also welcome the fact that we have had the chance to work with the Capital Nurse Project which is involved in so much innovative work to support nurses in London.’

Discover our offer to professional bodies

  • Planned Pathways on key topics to help members plan their CPD
  • Pushing a record of a CPD event that a member attends, into their CPD record
  • Inviting others to verify professional records and CPD activity
  • Managing applications for accreditation from the professional body online
  • Creating multiple reports from one CPD record.

Our distinctive offer is that we are able use these tools to handcraft each site to meet the specific needs of our partner professional bodies.

New Online/Offline CPDnow app now available in Google Play and iOS stores

Imagine having access to an online/offline application which is handcrafted to reflect the way your site works now. There is no need to change your approach to CPD and assessment because our app only works this way, we can still mirror your approach.

The app versions of our sites are developed in such a way that if the app detects there is an internet connection, then it will load the full site with all functions available including the ability to authenticate mentors before sign off inside the app itself.

If the app detects that there is no internet connection it will drop back to the off line version where the key items that it is agreed need to be accessible off line, remain accessible. It will be clear to the user they are in offline mode and a different type of authentication process will be enabled. As soon as the app detects that they are back online then all the content captured off line will automatically be added to the online site.

This means that members will be able to create and update CPD plans and records even when they are offline. As soon as they are back online whatever changes they have made to their CPD Plans and Records will be automatically synchronised with their online record.

axia_digital_web_graphic_09The Android version of the Application has been available for a few weeks and already over 200 members have signed up to use it. We expect a similar demand for the Apple version.

Crucially the way we have developed the application and the changes that we have made to our core NOW.net platform means that it is possible to create online/offline applications for each of our sites.  We are therefore able maintain our offer to existing and new customers that their sites are handcrafted to their specific requirements. You do not need to change what you do, to fit in with the way our online/offline application works.

Launch of our first Online/Offline Application

On June 7th our customer of long standing the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) launched their new application version of CPDnow the site we developed them which supports all their CPD and accreditation activities. The application enables members to capture their Plans and Evidence Offline and then they sync back to their portfolio when they are back online. We expect the App to be launched on the Google Play store in the next few weeks and we will then be creating an Apple iOS version shortly after that.

 

You can see Louise Coleman from SCoR and our Customer Services Director Chris Peat talking about it at the UK Radiology Conference here.

The application functionality has been developed in such a way that it can be applied to our other sites without compromising on our core design approach which is to able to reflect the assessment methodology of each institution with whom we work. In other words we have created an application but not one that only works in a certain way.
