The aim is that the programme is cost-neutral to the Society, with the ideal being for an<br />
ongoing modest surplus to be available to support platform costs. Based on 1,000 learners<br />
the subscription costs to the v-learning platform will be £10.00 per learner. BSAC has<br />
negotiated a set-up and start-up contract for an initial 6 months after which we will<br />
evaluate usage and negotiate a subscription rate for the next 12 months.<br />
(e)<br />
Development costs per module will vary, but for those supported using external funds costs<br />
will be full economic costs less 50% overheads, this being the Society’s investment and<br />
contribution to development.<br />

Funding via grants or e-commerce arrangements will be managed by Tracey Guise, CEO in<br />
consultation with Officers and members of <strong>Council</strong> as appropriate. E-commerce will<br />
include the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Payments for courses<br />
Payment for courses as part of an event (e.g. v-learning module either supporting or<br />
following workshop)<br />
Purchase credits for bundles of courses/multiple access for group of users (open to<br />
Trusts/Sponsors)<br />
(g)<br />
To date the Society has secured 2 educational grants to a total value of £30,000 to support<br />
development of the modules detailed under heading ‘CONTENT’ and are in late stage<br />
negotiations to secure a further educational grant to support development of a module on<br />
the role of vaccines in reducing AMR.<br />
