The European Context Survey: The education needs of neuroscience nurses across Europe to improve patient care. Where did we start and what is the future of neuroscience nursing education? Carol Forde-Johnston (UK) WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
The European Context • EU: 15,500,000+ neuro patients • ageing of the population, lifestyle increasing number of patients • 125,000-1,500,000 nurses • Profession develops rapidly Life Long Learning • Enormous training need !!! • Diversity: laws & regulations, educational systems, culture, language • From good educational systems to no specialized NN education at all • Competence based training = rising star, but nowhere really implemented • EU politics: nurse = Higher Education, competence based, mobility, one certificate, quality care • Lots of challenges in education !!! WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
Perspectives on Neuroscience Nursing Best practices Care process & Clinical practice Research Education Evidence base The right blend Education • To become a NN • To become a better NN • To stay a NN • Life Long Learning WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
What’s so special about neuroscience nurses?? • Patients with neurological or neurosurgical diseases • deal with disturbed vital functions • have 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 and long term situations.
Domain: body of knowledgeThree identified domains specific for neuroscience nursing: Indentified domains • Acute neuro care • Neuro rehabilitation • Neuro palliative care Overlapping domains EANN 2007, Reykjavik, Iceland

Project outcomes & results WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
Project outcomes & results A competence describes behaviour needed to be successful in a professional context. Levels Criteria, Reflection The NeuroBlend 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 work floor 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 WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada

The concept of sharing • Good training materials are expensive to produce, and hard to make. • Creative Commons licence. • Not only take, also give! WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
Organisational needs • Educational Board • (educational experts) • developing a long term strategically policy plan • proposing quality criteria & procedure criteria • Program management of follow up projects • Communities of teachers • Teacher training • Content development • Multi professional education • Community of teachers • (Qualified teachers and educators) • Trained in NeuroBlend Philosphy • Maintenance repository content • Peer review learning materials • Actualizing learning materials • Production of learning metarials • Ambassodorship in home country • Office • (company) • Users and end users administration • License administration • Hosting • Technical maintenance • Repository maintenance WFNN 2009, Toronto, Canada
