The healthcare industry worldwide sees complex advancements in medical technology and clinical practices that evolve on a daily basis. To keep abreast of the latest developments in the field, healthcare professionals must make a conscious effort to keep updating their knowledge to ensure it is in line with the best practices across the world.
April 2012 saw the launch of a series of Professional Development Courses at MWT; structured in such a way as to update the medical skills of nurses and other healthcare professionals, and ensure that their professional knowledge is current. Medical professionals must consider that learning is a continuous process which goes on throughout their career span.
At MWT Institute, our range of online Professional Development Courses is carefully structured to provide continued education on core competencies for health care professionals. Topics offered on an ongoing basis include skills that hone the nurse’s all-round capabilities such as, for example, basic life support and palliative care.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) skills are of paramount importance for healthcare professionals in any discipline. Today cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and disability in the world. While many studies tell us that the fatal or foreboding effects of cardiovascular disease are preventable, yet they still continue to rise; primarily because awareness and preventive strategies remain inadequate.
Short term PD courses in areas such as Infection control and specialized care in Pressure Ulcers can add value to the nurses’ portfolio of career achievements. Fire and Safety for Health professionals, Emergency triage for nurses, and courses on such diverse topics such as Cannulation and Aggression management can help medical personnel in effectively dealing with emergency situations which can crop up during patient care.
Beyond a doubt, professional development is of vital importance to continued improvements in the nursing and healthcare profession. With our range of professionally managed PD courses, MWTwelcomes a new generation of doctors, nurses and paramedics who epitomize the highest quality of patient care, safety standards and efficiency of service.
PD courses are now mandatory for students wishing to go to Australia, as the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulating Authority) requires a 20 hours completed course certification. http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-Standards.aspx
