Each programme is described under the following headings: Title of Programme: Aim of Programme: Content: Facilitator(s): Duration: Date: Venue: Time: Number of Places: Target Audience: Nominations through Line Manager: While every effort has been made to plan programmes well in advance, some of the dates have not yet been finalised due to the availability of appropriate speakers. Be aware of the possibility of changes in the programme such as dates, starting times and content. Again, this is dependent on the availability of speakers and on the number of participants applying for each programme. Additional dates may be added based on demand and available resources. 75

79 HOW TO BOOK ONTO A PROGRAMME We would encourage you to read the prospectus carefully and choose the programmes that are most appropriate to your needs. Please note that the number of places per programme can vary and may be limited. To make a booking onto any of the programmes please cme.administrator@hse.ie Note that when you are making a booking you need to include your contact telephone number, address, the name of your line manager, your area of work and your ABAC (NMBI) PIN Number. The above contact details are essential should you need to be contacted e.g. cancellation of a programme, change in times etc. NO TELEPHONE BOOKINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED CHANGES AND CANCELLATION OF PROGRAMMES We, in the Centre of Midwifery Education, will make every attempt to ensure that programmes are not changed or cancelled. However, in the event of this occurrence as much notice as possible will be provided. If possible the programme will be rescheduled to a later date. A minimum of 50% take up rate is necessary for the programme to proceed as planned. Otherwise, there is unnecessary waste of resources, time and finance. If it becomes necessary for you to cancel your place, please do so as soon as you become aware that you will not be attending. This allows your place to be offered to another midwife or practitioner. An ongoing audit of all participants who book onto programmes and actual attendance is maintained. Therefore, if you cannot attend please inform the CME by e- mail: cme.admistrator@hse.ie ASAP. 76

80 ATTENDANCE AND CEU s All programmes provided by the CME carry Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI). To obtain the allocated CEUs, you need to attend each programme in full. Otherwise, a certificate of attendance will not be issued and you will not obtain the CEUs accredited to the programme. Punctuality is essential so that the programmes may commence and finish as planned. What are CEUs? A CEU is a unit of credit for participation in an accredited programme. CEU records are widely used to provide evidence of completion of continuing education requirements mandated by certification bodies, professional societies, or governmental licensing boards. The records also supply employers with information on training relevant to particular occupations. Specific industries, such as midwifery, nursing, health, etc., have their own accrediting processes for CEUs. We, in the CME, obtain CEUs from the NMBI for each programme of education and training provided by the CME. The number of CEUs accredited to each programme offered by the CME is indicated in the prospectus and will also be included in the certificate of attendance for each of the programmes. Accreditation has also been received from UCC for one of our programmes. NON-ATTENDANCE In the event of non-attendance without explanation, to any of the programmes, a letter will be sent to your line manager informing them of your non-attendance. Please see appendix 1. 77

81 MANDATORY EDUCATION According to the NMBI (2014, p. 6), the frequency of mandatory requirements for continuing education, there is presently no statutory direction from the NMBI. Thus it is currently a matter to be determined by your organisation ). Name of Programme Frequency of update K2 Yearly Fire Training Yearly Anaphylaxis 2 yearly Basic Life Support (BLS) 2 yearly IMEWS Update 2 yearly Neonatal Resuscitation Programme (NRP) 2 yearly Prevention and Control of Health Care Associated Infection (PCHCAI) 2 yearly Open Disclosure 3 yearly Moving and Handling 3 yearly Preceptorship 3 yearly 78

82 E-LEARNING RESOURCES FOR BLENDED LEARNING PROGRAMMES Blended learning is a formal education programme in which an individual learns partly through online delivery of content and instruction with some aspect of individual control over time, place, path or pace. Face-to-face classroom techniques are combined with computer-mediated activities. A number of the programmes offered by the CME employ this method of learning, including K2 training. hseland.ie is an online learning forum developed and run by the Health Service Executive. It provides courses and learning resources for healthcare workers in both the hospital and community health settings. Access to the site is available through the internet or alternatively via the intranet within the health sector. Through this site a number of e-learning modules are available. Modules include the following: * Medication Management Peripheral IV Cannulation Venepuncture How to access a chosen module: Access site via the Intranet HSEnet: HSELanD.ie or Internet: Then register by entering your username and password (of own choice). Click on learning resources. Enrol in chosen programme before beginning. At the end of each programme a certificate of completion may be printed. In addition, an online self assessment test may be undertaken from which a score sheet can be printed. Note: Be aware that there is an online learning module on Perinatal Mental Health available through the NHS (UK) via the following link: 79

83 UPDATES FOR EXPERIENCED, COMPETENT STAFF There are many experienced midwives and nurses who deem themselves competent in a particular skill and therefore do not need to partake in a full educational programme. To update their practice, it is recommended that these practitioners complete the on-line module (if available for that skill) and follow the pathway below: Following completion of any of the three e-learning modules above*, a certificate of completion and score sheet from the online self assessment test at the end of the module need to be submitted to your line manager. Please retain a copy for your own learning portfolio. In addition to submission of the above 2 documents, a self-assessment of competence form needs to be completed and signed by the experienced midwife/nurse and co-signed by her/his line manager/designated relevant person (peer reviewer). This is then submitted to your line manager. This particular form will differ depending on the skill concerned and may be printed from an e-copy of the prospectus (appendix 3). Please retain a copy for your own learning portfolio. Maintenance of competence: A midwife/nurse, once achieving competence in any skill, must maintain her competence by practicing that skill on a regular basis. According to the Office of the Nursing Services Director, in the national framework for the skills of venepuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation, this is achieved by performing 10 procedures per month for each of these 2 skills. However, the number that needs to be performed for the maintenance of the skills of Perineal Repair and Prostin Administration needs to be agreed on an individual basis with your line manager. 80
