Most of ERAS costs nothing
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery shortens hospital stay by one to three days and reduces complications by roughly a third, without increasing readmissions. More than half of its elements require no new budget at all. Shortening the fast, stopping routine bowel preparation, leaving out the drain and the nasogastric tube, removing the catheter on day one, feeding and mobilising patients early, and teaching them properly. That half carries much of the benefit. This course starts there.

Short, interactive, and built to be finished
Decisions, not slides
Branching scenarios put you in the ward round or the anaesthetic room, then show you what happened three months later.
Immediate feedback
Every question explains the reasoning, whichever way you answer. Points, day streaks and module badges keep you coming back.
On your phone
Works from a small phone screen upward and keeps working on a slow connection. The course remembers where you stopped, on any device.
English and Amharic
Interface in both languages, with patient handouts in both. Full keyboard operation and on screen transcripts for every screen.
Pre-test, post-test, certificate
Every course starts with a short pre-test to find your baseline and ends with a post-test graded at 80%. Pass it and the app issues a verifiable certificate that counts toward your CPD.
Things you can use on Monday
84 printable ward cards, checklists, handouts and audit tools, free to download and adapt. Browse the resources.
Two ways to take the courses
Same content, your choice of platformThis learning app
Progress per course, badges, narrated lessons, an admin dashboard for the association and a verifiable certificate. Best on a phone.
ERAS Africa Moodle
The same four courses as SCORM packages on the ERAS Africa Moodle site, for institutions that already run learner records in Moodle or want to add forums, assignments and cohorts.
Run it as a workshop
Every course also works as facilitated sessions, one per module. Learners complete the module first, then the session is spent on local reality using the facilitator materials, role play, and your own hospital data.
