Good Heal Trust, a non-profit organisation, started training nurses of the National Heart Foundation Hospital and Research Institute on Tuesday with its ‘globally recognised’ modules.
At least 25 nurses of the National Heart Foundation would receive the one-year training to improve their skills, it says.
National Professor Dr MA Malik praised the Trust’s initiative, saying continuous nurses’ training was needed “to ensure a high level of patient care in any hospital”.
Tanvir Raquib, Executive Director of the Trust, thanked the management of the Research Institute for emphasising nurses’ training and education.
According to the Good Heal Trust, the training module had been designed by the US-based Institute for Nursing Healthcare Leadership (INHL), an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School’s consortium hospitals.
The training programme aimed at making the nurses “globally competitive” with improved patient managing knowledge, and exposure to the latest innovations.
They will be taught English, computer handling, and internet use to help them practise evidence-based nursing, the Trust says.
