Project Summary

“The use of innovative education tools in the fields of nursing and emergency medical services” is a project of three universities from Central Europe: The Higher School of Strategic Planning in Dąbrowa Górnicza, Presovska Univerzita v Presove and Jan Evangelista Purkyne University in Usti nad Labem. Its beneficiaries will be students and academic teachers of Nursing and Emergency Medical Services who want to improve their professional qualifications, language skills and prepare to work in an international environment.
The project is proposed as a response to the situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the university’s transition to hybrid and remote learning. In the case of universities educating in medical and health sciences, this is an additional challenge, because many subjects are difficult in the form of practical classes.
The aim of the project is therefore to adapt education in such fields as Nursing and Emergency Medical Services to modern learning in a remote system in order to achieve the highest level of education and create an international training program for practical subjects.
During the project implementation, it is expected to create the results of intellectual work such as:
– an interactive, multilingual coursebook – an e-learning platform consisting of a collection of videos recorded in the medical simulation center and practical vocational training laboratories providing instructions for performing the procedures. It is necessary to educate a professional paramedic or nurse. The interactive manual will be prepared in a multilingual form, i.e. each procedure will be translated into Polish, Czech, Slovak and English. The learning how to perform medical procedures is accompanied by language learning, necessary to work in an international environment
– joint, international training program of practical subjects in the fields of Nursing and Emergency Medical Services;
– training program of two specialist courses: “Healthcare worker in a crisis situation” and “Work in international medical rescue teams”. The project also includes the preparation of full course materials, both remote, hybrid and traditional. The video materials will be included as additional modules for the interactive handbook
In addition, during the project, it is planned to organize a training for academic teachers “Practical training of Nursing and Emergency Medical Services students” on conducting practical classes in low and high fidelity laboratories (medical simulation center), as well as conducting the first, pilot edition of the courses “Healthcare worker in crisis situation” and “Work in international medical teams”.
It is also planned to organize two international conferences: “Nursing and Emergency Medical Services – remote and hybrid education” combined with the presentation and dissemination of an interactive, multilingual textbook (coursebook) and the conference “International medical teams” combined with the presentation of the learning outcomes obtained during the courses “Healthcare worker in a crisis situation” and “Working in medical teams international”.
An important aspect of the prepared project is the durability and universality of the anticipated results. The interactive, multilingual textbook (coursebook) will be used by academic teachers and students of Nursing and Emergency Medical Services at the university as a basic tool for conducting practical education, especially in the case of hybrid and distance learning. At the same time, making the textbook (coursebook) available in the open-access system will also enable its use by universities outside the project.
In addition, the preparation of a joint program and educational materials necessary to conduct two training courses enables its subsequent editions and training of qualified staff prepared to work in international teams and in crisis situations. As in the case of the textbook, all necessary materials will be available in open-access form to all interested medical universities.
The development of joint, international training programs for practical subjects in the fields of Nursing and Emergency Medical Services will facilitate the mutual recognition of qualifications and is the first step to take steps to develop complete joint training programs.
