A virtual Public Health in Emergencies course has started for nurses and midwives of the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH), the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) and the Spanish General Council of Nursing.
Some 50 participants from the HTH and 100 others from the TTH are benefiting from this training module funded by the Women for Africa Foundation that would last for 60 days.
The course design takes the form of E-learning methodology through online campus Moodle platforms, face-to-face sessions and three webinars in addition to virtual mentoring sections.
The training aims to update knowledge and attitudes before the standard protection recommendations for health professionals and the general population and to incorporate the concept of a ‘Trainer of Trainers’ to disseminate the information from the course to the rest of the nurses and midwives.

“Although the crucial role that nursologists (AKA nurses) are playing in the care of persons who have contracted COVID-19 is widely recognized, I am concerned that the widespread and positive media and general public attention they’ve received will disappear with the end of the pandemic, with reversion or evolution to the stereotypic view of nursologists as “handmaidens” to physicians,” says Jacqueline Fawcett, a member of the SHIELD Leadership Advisory Board and SPH Dean’s Advisory Board.
