From 16-20 April MeduProf S lecturer Olaf van Oosterhout travelled to Ghana to conduct the second ICU training module (Intensive care Nursing) in Tamale. This was done in coorporation with one of the consulting anesthesiologists (Dr. Anabah) from the hospital.
The second module was a combination of lecturing and practising in the classroom and teaching on the job.
The participants are trained to become trainers at their own ward, the “train the trainer” principle.
To achieve the objectives of the training the participants are taught didactical skills as well as in depth knowledge on ICU.
During the next 4 modules of ICU the participants will become more and more competent, so that, at the end of the day when the project is finished, the hospital has competent teachers in ICU nursing.
The 7 participants to this module were a pleasure to work with, very enthusiastic and dedicated.
