Belfast (UK), December 2010 - The online learning company Aurion has been awarded a contract to develop an eLearning programme for the Irish affiliate of pharmaceutical giant Roche. Principles of Musculoskeletal Assessment will be developed as part of a blended-learning programme for registered nurses and consultants.

The rheumatology eLearning programme will include over 2.5 hours of online learning spread over five units: Modern Rheumatology Practice, Recognition of Joint Symptoms, Assessment of Degenerative Joint Disease, Inflammatory Joint Disease Assessment, and Tools Required for Joint Disease Assessment.
Speaking about the new partnership, Dr. Maureen Murphy, Managing Director at Aurion Learning says, "This is the first time that Roche Products (Ireland) Limited has used online learning, so we're delighted that they are giving us the chance to work with them on this innovative project. Our challenge is to transform their learning content into a world-class eLearning programme that will engage and delight our target audience group in Ireland and beyond."
Mr. Mark Rodgers, Managing Director at Roche Products (Ireland) Limited, adds, "We are always keen to support the continued medical education of the healthcare professionals with whom we work, and it's important for us to identify innovative ways of doing this. This is the first eLearning project developed in this medical area and is also our first experience with such a programme. We are delighted to work with Aurion on this project and are finding their expertise and guidance invaluable."
