Principles to award learning achievements for lifelong learning in health using micro-credentials: an international Delphi study
The growing body of literature on micro-credentialing highlights its potential as a method to recognise learning achievements. The interest in alternative pathways to award health practitioners, through short competency-based micro-learning opportunities, has spurred discussions on the practical application of micro-credentials. This research outlines the categories and principles for a proposed framework to implement micro-credentialing to recognise learning achievements within the health and care sector.
