The implementation of the HWE4CCN project has reached to its end. Since 2019, the project partners have worked on the development of the educational materials to help nurse training proffessionals in developing Healthy Work Environments (HWE) knowledge, skills and competences for CCU Nurses.

The training course is available as an e-learning online platform and includes:

• Online training on Healthy Work Environments (HWE) for nurses in the Critical Care Units (CCU)

• Methods, tools and support materials for trainers involved in the (continuous) development of CCU nurses to design HWE training curricula

• Lesson plans on the six dimensions of HWE.

The e-learning platform is available in six languages (English, Croatian, Greek, Polish, Romanian and Spanish) as an Open Educational Resource, accessible for free use and re-purposing by any interested party.

From 12 to 15 November 2019, the five partner organisations of the Improving Working Environments for Critical Care Nurses (HWE4CCN) project met in Nicosia (Cyprus) for their first transnational meeting. During this first meeting, the partner organizations laid the groundwork for the implementation of the project. The working methods were agreed within the partnership and the timetable for the next meetings was established. The partners started working on the content of the course materials.

On February 2021 the testing phase of the training materials has been completed. In order to evaluate how effective the blended training course is in developing the relevant knowledge, skills and competences for creating HWE among CCU nurse staff, a validation was carried out in 4 pilots, involving eight trainers and 32 CCU nursing staff from Cyprus, Croatia, Poland and Spain. Based on the feedback received from the testing phase, the project partners will evaluate and define the necessary improvements to ensure that the online training course delivers the target learning outcomes.
