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 />

(f)<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 />
