Level | Description |

Level 2: Learning outcomes | |
      Level 2a: Modification of attitudes/ perceptions | Changes in reciprocal attitudes or perceptions between participant groups, towards patients/clients and their condition, circumstances, care and treatment. |

Level 3: Change in behaviour | Behavioural change transferred from the learning environment to the workplace prompted by modifications in attitudes or perceptions, or the application of newly acquired knowledge/skills in practice. Overeem et al. (2010) identify that this level can be further separated into: |

      Level 3b : Measured change in performance | |
Level 4 : Patient /Organisational outcomes | |
      Level 4a : Change in organisational practice | This relates to wider changes in the organisation/delivery of care, attributable to an education programme. |
      Level 4b : Benefits to patients/ clients | Covers any improvements in the health and well being of patients/clients as a direct result of an education programme. |
