We are thrilled to announce the results of our recent Pulse 365 and Nursing in Practice 365 user feedback survey, demonstrating fantastic levels of engagement and interest in both platforms.

Pulse 365 and Nursing in Practice 365 are centralised learnings hubs for our community of GPs and primary care nurses to fulfil their learning requirements. Choosing from a mix of bite-sized, interactive, and longer-form content spanning over 20 clinical areas, users can choose content to consume depending on their preferences and time.

A recent survey to users revealed that 91% of respondents find Nursing in Practice 365 good/very good/highly valuable and 88% of respondents find Pulse 365 good/very good/highly valuable.

The survey found that both Pulse 365 and Nursing in Practice 365 users enjoy the quality and relevance of the content, wide range of topics, and convenient access to free CPD education, with over 70% using the platforms weekly to help keep their clinical knowledge up to date.

User testimonials have been extremely positive:

• ‘It’s online, easy access. Various topics are covered - you can choose depending on your interest and time. Very useful and I would highly recommend it.’ – Pulse 365 user
