The Department of Nursing Education Services offered a five-day COVID-19 online training programme to public sector nurses as part of the University’s agreement with the Sindh government on building the capacity of frontline workers in government hospitals. The programme was organised at the Centre for Innovation in Medical Education, CIME.
A range of teaching technologies such as virtual games and videos, grading software such as Google Classroom, collaborative programmes like Padlet, and test building tools such as Testmoz were used during the course to help nurses learn how to improve treatment outcomes for patients.
Topics covered included: risk assessment, infection prevention and control guidelines, appropriate use of personal protective equipment, managing COVID-19 patients on non-invasive and mechanical ventilation, haemodynamic monitoring, drug dilution, respiratory failure, and shock management.
A total of 12 participants passed the course and will now run similar trainings in their own institutions. The University will offer support for trickle down capacity building initiatives.
Nursing Education Services as well as nurse specialists and nurse instructors from the service lines of the University’s teaching hospital facilitated the course.
