Step 2            

Log in to MLE

Go to: www.mle.salisbury.nhs.uk

(This works best using Chrome if you have it)

Your learning will be setup for you on your ‘learning plan’. Some instructions on how to use MLE are available for you here – 

Before you start you will receive your log in details to our Learning Management System, ‘MLE’. If you have not received a login, or have any questions/ issues then please contact the Education Department on 01722 336262 ext 5828 or email sft.mle.helpdesk@nhs.net

Step 3

Complete the learning allocated to you on MLE

Your MLE account will display the learning that you need to do for your role. The learning that you must complete before you enter the trust please are:

• Fire Safety
• Safeguarding Children and Adults
• Infection Control
• Manual Handling
• Information Governance

If you are transferring from another NHS Organisation we can ‘passport’ your E-Learning onto the MLE, meaning that you won’t have to complete some of the training again.

All you need to do is email one of the following to us at: sft.mle.helpdesk@nhs.net

• A record of training exported from your ESR record
• A scanned or photographed version of attendance certificates

Step 4

Make sure you are booked onto any practical sessions you need

These should be in your learning plan if needed for your role:

• Manual Handling (you must complete the e-learning before attendance)
• Clinical Support Staff Induction

If you are unsure what you need, or need to reschedule a session that has been booked then please contact the Education Team on 01722 336262 ext 5835 or via sft.education.centre@nhs.net.

All Clinical Staff will need to phone and book your Resuscitation training on 2694.

This mandatory training cannot be transferred from another trust. The team will advise you on the level of training you need and book a session for you.

 Step 5            

Getting your IT Access

Your MLE account will also contain IT learning that you need to do for your role. This learning is contained under the Information Management and Technology heading in the MLE and is dependent on your job role.

Your manager will complete a IT user request authorising your access to our systems.  When received we will notify them of IT Induction session for you where we will set up your access.

Induction sessions are normally held on Tuesdays.

The IT Induction Admin Team can be contacted on 01722 336262 ext 5724 or email via sft.itinductions@nhs.net

Step 6

Getting your Smartcard:

If you are employed by Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust please email sft.smartcards@nhs.net to book an appointment for a Smartcard which will enable you to access the Trust Employee Staff Record (ESR) and other applications dependent on your job role.  You can also phone the team on 01722 336262 extension 4400.
