Nurses impress medical experts
Friday, 20 June 2014
The Good Heal Trust is showing the way in nurses’ training. The non-profit organisation, currently in the midst of a year-long nurses’ skill enhancement programme begun at the National Heart Foundation Hospital last December, held a scientific seminar mid-way on Thursday. Under the programme, nurses are being taught English, computer handling, and internet use to equip them for evidence-based nursing, which the Trust says is a new concept in Bangladesh. Thursday, seven nurses gave power-point presentations in English on anatomy and physiology of the heart, coronary circulation, clinical manifestation and diagnostic procedure, surgical management, medical management, nursing management, and health informatics. Their presentations overwhelmed the National Professor and Founder of the National Heart Foundation Abdul Malik. He thanked the Good Heal Trust for introducing such ‘an innovative and continuing education program’ for nurses. He urged nurses to be abreast of the ‘latest innovations in health care’ and stressed more such training programs for them, according to bdnews24.com.
