Learning from prevention to long-term care
Glide-19 project
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted societies all around the world. Due to the sudden emergence of the pandemic and lack of information healthcare professionals worked with lots of uncertainties.
Despite the large efforts of each country, professional education and training of healthcare operators on the management of COVID-19 scattered over EU countries, resulting in a lack of comprehensive and integrated approaches for Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs. Therefore, to be prepared and act synergically in the current but also in a potential future pandemic situation, the EU needs a system for exchanging and sharing healthcare knowledge and (best)practices. It is also essential that the information and knowledge about the pandemic covers every aspect of the illness, including prevention and post-recovery rehabilitation (i.e., long COVID).
The overall goal of the GLIDE-19 project is therefore to support healthcare professionals in achieving enhanced skills and competencies to manage current and (possible future) pandemics by developing a multidimensional training program.

The Glide-19 platform
Besides the development of the GLIDE-19 training, one of the other key outputs within the GLIDE-19 project will entail the development of an interactive e-learning platform. This easy-to-use platform will be based on the MOOC model, or Massive Open Online Courses, and developed using a co-design approach. Within this platform the GLIDE-19 methodology and course will be hosted. Central components of this platform include principles of mutual learning by exchanging experiences, evidence, and results between healthcare professionals, also between different countries. This platform will therefore not serve as a repository only but allows for interaction between users and content owners. The content of the platform will be eventually offered in the following languages (i.e., project partners languages): English, Spanish, Italian, German, and Dutch.
Besides raising awareness, we hope to increase knowledge exchange and communication between healthcare professionals who work in COVID-19 care or have experience working in times of COVID-19.
