Clinical skills, five minutes at a time.

Interactive lessons for nurses, midwives, doctors, paramedics and pharmacists. Every answer explains why, and your CPD time logs itself.

A lesson on a phone. The learner taps the term "paper speed" to see its definition, reads on, starts the quiz, chooses 0.04 seconds for one small ECG square and is told it's correct, with the working shown.

The course library

Courses scaled to your time and your level

Every lesson takes about five minutes, and every course sits on the same five-step complexity scale, so you start where you are and build from there. Six core courses are ready now, with more on the way. Level 1 of every course is free.

Animated explainers

See what's happening, not just what to do

Short animations show what's going on in the vessel, the cell or the kidney, so the signs at the bedside make sense.

Tumour lysis syndrome Treatment breaks tumour cells open. Potassium, phosphate and uric acid flood the blood faster than the kidneys can clear them.
Hyperkalaemia Why potassium rises, why a haemolysed sample can read falsely high, and the ECG changes to look for, such as peaked T waves.
Troponin Injured heart muscle cells release troponin into the bloodstream, where a high-sensitivity test can pick it up.
Correcting low sodium Brain cells adapt to a low sodium over about two days. Raise it too fast and water leaves them, risking osmotic demyelination.
D-dimer Fibrin strands are cross-linked into a clot. When plasmin breaks the clot down, the joined fragments left behind are D-dimer.
CRP Inflamed tissue releases cytokines such as interleukin-6, which signal the liver to make C-reactive protein.
Compartment syndrome Swelling inside tough fascia has nowhere to go, so pressure builds on the muscle, blood vessels and nerve.
HbA1c Glucose attaches to haemoglobin and stays for the red cell's life, so one result reflects the last few months.

The learning science

Built on how people learn and remember

Six ideas from learning research, shaped around a clinician's working week.

  • Active recall

    You decide, then you see why

    Read the strip, choose the escalation, order the steps, work out the dose. Every answer comes with the reasoning, so even a wrong one teaches you something.

  • Micro-learning

    Fits between handovers

    A lesson takes about five minutes, so learning fits around a shift, not into your day off.

  • Spaced practice

    Little and often beats a cram

    A few minutes on most days keeps knowledge fresher than a weekend of modules before your CPD deadline.

  • Scaffolding

    One level at a time

    Courses start with the fundamentals and build in levels, so each lesson stretches you just past what you already know.

  • Motivation

    Made for shift work

    XP, streaks and weekly leagues keep you coming back. A weekly streak freeze covers night shifts and days off.

  • ISBAR

    Situated learning

    Learn it the way you'll meet it

    Lessons start from real situations: observations that are drifting, a high-risk medicine, a handover that leaves something out.

Your learning, all in one place

  1. Read

    A short, illustrated lesson. Tap an underlined term for a quick definition.

  2. Practise

    A handful of questions that check you can use it, not just recall it.

  3. Log

    Your time and the topic go straight into your CPD log.

A CPD log that keeps itself

Every lesson adds itself to your log, so your evidence builds while you learn.

Clin.IQ Learn isn't an accredited CPD provider yet. Check what your national board accepts as evidence.

  • Time and topic, logged

    Every lesson records the minutes you spent and what it covered.

  • Your reflections

    Add your own reflections alongside your lessons.

  • A yearly target

    Set a target for the year and see your progress towards it.

  • Export any time

    Download your log whenever you need it, on any plan.

Education you can check

  • References on every lesson

    Each lesson lists the guidelines and sources it draws on, so you can read further.

  • Reviewed, with dates you can see

    Lessons are checked by a clinical reviewer before they're published, and show when they're next due for review.

  • Mapped to the NSQHS Standards

    Courses are tagged to the national safety and quality standards that Australian health services train against.

  • Education, not clinical advice

    Lessons teach principles. Your organisation's policies and your clinical judgement come first. Read the full statement

Questions

Is it accredited CPD?

Not yet. Clin.IQ Learn records your learning time, topics and reflections so you can use them in your own CPD record. Each national board sets its own rules, so check what yours accepts.

What does it cost?

Level 1 of every course is free, and so is your CPD log. Pro and Teams are coming, and their pricing will be announced before they launch.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Clin.IQ Learn runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Sign in with your email and you're ready.

Who is it for?

Nurses, midwives, doctors, paramedics and pharmacists, and students in those fields. Lessons are written for Australian practice.

Can I use it to decide a patient's care?

No. It's an education service. It doesn't replace your organisation's policies and procedures or your clinical judgement, and it isn't a clinical decision support tool.
