The international Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Skills Education Programme for Nurses – Can you see the Big Picture? project is developing an innovative curriculum for nurses focusing on the teaching and development of geriatric assessment.
The main objective of the project is to develop a new nursing education curriculum for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment which will be offered in the form of continuing and life learning education courses, and which is possible to be integrated into HEI, universities’, and VET institutions’ degree programmes.
The CGA education curriculum’s purpose is to bridge the geriatric assessment skills gap of nurses. The new curriculum improves the quality and relevance of nursing skills by introducing new CGA skills requirements and elements of entrepreneurship (homecare service provision) in the studies. By using authentic work-based learning as well as immersive digital 3D simulations, the project aims to make nursing education an attractive choice for both the nurses upskilling themselves as well as future degree programme students. The consortium brings together HEI, universities and VET providers, along with a company providing homecare service, a hospital, a health-centre, and a company specializing in creating virtual learning environments.
