COVID-19: Programme of training of healthcare professionals in intensive care skills.

Dear colleagues, experts and managers involved in the Covid19 Management Support System and ERNs community,

We would like to inform you that the Commission in its aim to support the EU healthcare systems and clinicians at the front line dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, is funding a programme of training of healthcare professionals in intensive care skills.

For this aim a contract has been signed in August with the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)  to develop a training programme in Intensive Care Fundamentals for Healthcare Professionals not regularly working in Intensive Care Units.

The training is free of charge and is available for every doctor and nurse working in a hospital with an Intensive Care Unit, in all 27 EU Member States and the United Kingdom.

For more information and registering please go to the dedicated webpage: COVID-19 Skills Preparation Course – ESICM
