The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine (FPM) was recently recognised with the Gold Award for Best Education Initiative at the Association Excellence Awards for its Managing Respiratory Diseases eLearning Programme.
Behind this success is a powerful collaboration between subject matter experts and our team at Day One Technologies, who designed and developed this medical elearning experience.
This award highlights what is possible when high-quality digital learning design meets urgent, real-world healthcare challenges.
Addressing a Critical Healthcare Need
Respiratory diseases continue to place significant pressure on healthcare systems, particularly during winter months.
In the wake of COVID-19, the need for accessible, high-quality training became even more urgent, and in early 2022, FPM launched a project to support healthcare professionals in understanding and managing respiratory conditions more effectively.
In late 2024, FPM started work with Day One Technologies to expand the project’s reach, and the result was a self-paced, online learning programme designed to:
- Improve clinical understanding of respiratory diseases and treatments
- Support frontline decision-making
- Provide flexible access for time-constrained healthcare professionals
Crucially, the programme was made freely available, ensuring broad access and maximum public value.
Designed for Real-World Learning
Day One Technologies worked closely with FPM to create an experience that reflects the realities of modern healthcare practice.
The programme was built around a few key principles:
Flexibility for busy medical professionals
Medical professionals rarely have uninterrupted time for training. The learning was designed to be completed at any time, in any location, across devices.
Structured, engaging learning journeys
Content was carefully structured to guide learners through complex topics in a logical, digestible way, helping them build confidence as they progress.
Supporting different learning preferences
A blend of formats ensures accessibility for a wide audience, accommodating different learning styles and levels of prior knowledge.
Practical clinical application
The focus was not just on knowledge, but on applying that knowledge in real-world scenarios, supporting better outcomes in clinical settings.
Recognition from the Industry
The programme’s impact was recognised at the Association Excellence Awards, where judges praised both its execution and purpose:
“This was a very well-structured submission. Clear on objectives, delivery, impact and evaluation, addressing a critical healthcare need with interdisciplinary collaboration and public value at its heart.”
This recognition reflects not only the quality of the learning experience, but also the collaborative approach taken to deliver it. For us here at Day One Technologies, it built upon years of bespoke healthcare elearning development experience for the likes of the NHS, Roche, Royal College of Physicians, Mind and more.
A Model for Modern Healthcare Learning
The success of the Managing Respiratory Diseases programme demonstrates several important trends in healthcare learning:
- Digital learning can scale rapidly to meet urgent needs
- Flexible, self-paced formats are essential for busy professionals
- Strong instructional design is key to engagement and impact
- Collaboration between subject experts and learning specialists delivers the best outcomes
For organisations looking to deliver training in complex, high-stakes environments, this medical elearning project offers a clear model for success.
Supporting Meaningful Learning Outcomes
At Day One Technologies, we believe that effective learning goes beyond content delivery. It’s about creating experiences that change behaviour, improve performance, and deliver real-world impact.
This award-winning programme with the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine is a great example of that philosophy in action.

Final Thoughts
Winning Gold at the Association Excellence Awards is a significant achievement – but more importantly, this medical elearning programme is making a real difference where it matters most.
By equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and confidence to manage respiratory diseases, it contributes to better patient outcomes and a more resilient healthcare system.
And that is what great learning should always strive to achieve.
