Besides other requirements like actual experience in the field, a care professional needs to manage 10 general and some department-specific restricted medical treatment skills. For each of these skills a separate training program has been developed, consisting of 4 steps: theory, knowledge test, skills lab, and a clinical test. After these 4 steps the professional is observed and assessed in daily practice by a supervisor to conclude the training program for the specific skill.

In our nursing school we modeled the first step of the training program (learning the theory) into online Elearning materials. The Elearning lessons consist of didactic elements like text, questions, feedback, illustrations, animations and video. The learner has to complete the Elearning lesson and to pass the tests. Only then a certificate can be achieved.

See here an example of a video clip about cleaning hands as a preparation for intravenous medication.

The lessons are all in Dutch. Topics include venipuncture, intravenous medication and blood transfusion.

The lessens can be found at the Dutch National Elearning portal MedicalEducation.nl. Users can make a free account to access lessons.
