Healthy Europe through Learning and Practice

Doctors, nurses and public health workers in Europe have an influential role in addressing health concerns in public health, for example, to address growing levels of obesity and coronary disease. To date, there is no one European VET programme that provides training for doctors, nurses and public health workers in this area of public health. The HELP project addressed this gap by transferring an obesity and circulatory disease management Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme for doctors, nurses and public health workers, in collaboration with European partners. The Partnership developed the product to incorporate contemporary topics such as physical activity, healthy eating, behaviour change and heart rate into a resource available across Europe. The product is accessible online for professionals such as doctors, nurses and public health workers, and VET organisations in the EU.This project has resulted in a web portal and the provision of two online downloadable training resources. Firstly, course material for trainers, and secondly, course material for learners. This enables the training to be either downloaded and delivered by a VET organisation, or by the learner independently, who could study for the accreditation 'in-service'. There is, therefore, the capacity to develop a well trained and knowledgeable European health professional workforce through this product. Tangible outcomes included a European training resource, accessible online, for VET organisations, and doctors, nurses and public health workers throughout the European Union.Intangible outcomes included the capacity to develop a well trained and knowledgeable European health professional workforce in the area of obesity and circulatory disease management. The envisaged impact from this proposal is twofold and symbiotic; it is the unique provision of a European training resource which will result in a more competent, knowledgeable, better trained, and coordinated medical workforce across Europe.
