436Q - Research Paper
Abstract:
Aim:
Background In early 2023, we were asked to consider developing and delivering a nephrology specialty course for Palestinian nurses as part of a Project Rozana initiative. Project Rozana is an international organisation whose mission is to create access to quality healthcare for communities in conflict areas. In addition to the online theoretical learning, nurses would attend clinical placements to provide practical training in partnering hospitals in Israel. At that time, there were nursing courses for other specialties but no nephrology course, so a bespoke program was needed. AimTo develop and deliver an evidence based, peer reviewed online nephrology nursing course for nurses in the Project Rozana program.
Method:
Following discussion with the hospitals involved, we agreed on a curriculum. We also agreed timelines for development, peer review and publication of the courses to the WCEA* education platform. This would enable nurses to access the course from the broader global community as well. We developed content, had it reviewed/revised as needed, then recorded each module. On completion, the modules were uploaded to WCEA*. *World Continuing Education Association
Results:
At the beginning of September 2023, the Project Rozana Nephrology Nursing course went live on WCEA. On October 7, the Israeli – Hamas conflict started. Despite this, nurses participating in the program have completed online modules, as have many others.
Conclusion:
At the time of abstract submission, there have been 504 module completions from nurses internationally, including USA (90), Palestine (29), Israel (195) and Spain (28).
