Project 90 - Nurses Education

Project 90 - Nurses Education

The Nurse Education arm strives to empower and enhance education and training for nurses and healthcare staff in diverse gastroenterology settings, including wards, outpatient clinics, theatres, and critical care. By strengthening workforce competence, it supports the delivery of high-quality, safe patient care. Gastroenterology nursing faces a global workforce shortage, impacting recruitment and retention. This specialty requires complex skills vital to patient outcomes. Accessible, flexible, and career-enhancing education pathways can boost staff competence, confidence, and lifelong learning, ensuring excellence in care delivery.

Aims and Objectives

Our aim is to enhance standards of education and training in gastroenterology nursing, leading to improved patient care, safety, and person-centred outcomes. We strive to establish a sustainable and cost-effective educational model that is multi-professional and learner-centred, ensuring accessibility and efficiency. By providing a standardised, quality-assured education package for nurses, we will support and build the future workforce while promoting equity of access. Additionally, we will maximise the use of digital technology and e-learning, offering free access to a centralised learning resource to facilitate the sharing of innovation and best practices.
