Hi Sonal,

What kind of training module are you supposed to prepare? For which level of employees? In hospitals, as you will know, there are five distinct groups: 1. doctors 2. nurses 3. lab technicians and other medical support staff 4. cleaners/stretcher lifters/ward boys, etc. 5. support admin staff. If you give me more specific details, it will be of help to answer.

Dear friends,

I am Sathish Kumar J, a postgraduate nurse administrator and educator, working at a superspeciality hospital and college of nursing. I would like to leave a comment on training in the hospital.

I strongly agree with Geetha Manohar. Even the doctors, nurses, and other patient care workers have various levels. We are working around the clock with human beings, not machines, so the training must not be trial and error. The learners or workers must be trained in three domains: knowledge, attitude, and skill in patient care.

Here comes another giant, technology, and the quality of patient care.

Training involves multidisciplinary teamwork. We must realize that all the training institutions have already provided training at the college level, so it must start from the known to the unknown.

The learning activity must be evaluated followed by a demonstration, only then will it be effective.

I am ready to help you train the nurses to achieve quality nursing care.
