This course is aimed at getting a broad perspective of what the EU’s digitalisation policy has been during the last decade, the political motives triggering it, and the differences between the digitalisation of health occurring at the national level and that at the EU level. Participants will be eased into how the EU institutions continued fostering the digitalisation of health through several research programmes, including projects like Smart4Health. Finally, this course explains the frontline impact that all these have in the nursing profession, as well as some predictions for the future. This online course is aimed at all ‘lifelong learners’, especially frontline nurses, who want to learn more about the digitalization of the health care system and the opportunities it offers. It is intended as an advanced Continual Professional Development (CPD) course. Technical background knowledge is not needed for this course. Participants should expect to spend 1 to 2 hours through the instructional course.

Certification

At the end of each lesson, the participants will have to answer some questions to test the knowledge acquired. If 75% of good answers is reached, the participants get a Certificate of completion of the course.
