Accessing LearnTogether
LearnTogether is web based, and can be accessed anywhere and on any device but we do not recommend completing your training on your mobile phone as this has not been tested.
Log in to LearnTogether
To find LearnTogether on your RUH computer or laptop go your Desktop Dashboard 
or our Staff Development web pages: https://webserver.ruh-bath.nhs.uk/Training/index.asp and look for this icon 
Alternatively type the link: learntogether.ruh.nhs.uk into your web browser. You can also use this address if you are using your own device.
Click on RUH staff log in and you will be taken to the NHSmail login page. Log in using your NHS mail address and password.
Multi-Factor authentication
In addition to your email address and password, NHSmail now requires a second form of authentication, such as an authentication app on your mobile phone, text message, phone call or FIDO2 token. This second layer of security is designed to prevent anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password. If you have not already set this up please contact IT or view further information here: https://support.nhs.net/knowledge-base/getting-started-with-mfa/
Once MFA is set up click on Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to complete your login via the app or text.

Each mandatory training subject that has been set as a requirement for you is listed as a ‘certification’. A certification for a mandatory subject shows the learning options available and how often the training must be updated. The ‘status’ column shows whether you have completed training or not, and the Expiry Date’ column indicates the date by when you are required to update training in this certification. This can be updated within 3 months of the certification expiry date. If mandatory training is completed again earlier than 3 months before expiry date the new completion date will not be recorded.
