What is so special about neuro patients? Most neuro diseases are chronical. Patients need help with activities of daily living, mobility, swallowing, etc. Most neuro patients become severely disabled and handicapped.
What is so special about neuro patients? Patients with neurological or neurosurgical diseases may have to deal with disturbed vital functions and like no other patient group they suffer from a mix of sensomotory, cognitive and psycho-emotional impairments. This indicates neuroscience nurses have to be competent in a wide shade of care, from live-threatening situations, via rehabilitation to palliative care in chronic long term situations.
European Function Profileof a neuroscience nurseOctober 2005 www.eann.net
Three identified domains specific for neuroscience nursing • Acute neuro care • Neuro rehabilitation • Neuro palliative care

Competence based learning A competence describes behaviour needed to be successful in a professional context. Levels Criteria, Reflection Competence based learning and teaching philosophy includes: ……… ·Learning is aimed at actively constructing knowledge in a meaningful context ·A competence is connected to meaningful job/task-specific learning contexts ·Integrative learning aimed at coherence rather than loose facts ·Active reflection ·Working together as on the workfloor where possible ·Flexible learning paths ·Adjusted to needs and Elsewhere Gained Competences of individual learner ·Competences cannot be learned in one click, they grow in a process ·Individual learner is responsible for own learning process ·Teacher is facilitator or coach for learning process

Virtual Ward Case • Setting up a mentoring and coaching system • Introducing a new intervention method for rehabilitation at the ward • Starting with evidence based practice • Making a training plan for the ward • Budget cut reorganisation: change management • Developing a policy for the next three years • Managing the ward: planning and scheduling • Introducing the multidisciplinary approach
NeuroBlendproject goals • A competence based curriculum • A digital virtual learning environment • Lessons and modules (no courses!) • On 11 topics • Blueprints for lessons and modules • A project plan for ‘train de trainers’
NeuroBlendImportant project limitations • We have ‘only’ two years • All texts are in English, other languages are possible • Not all neuro diseases are covered • Limited amount of materials (blueprints) • Follow up projects are needed
