Goals of further training
Nowadays, vocational training is not a one-off event during the training period, but a continuous process of learning and further qualification. In every specialist area, increasingly complex tasks with demanding nursing challenges are coming to the fore.
Our continuing education courses enable participants to provide patient care based on the current, generally accepted state of knowledge in nursing science, medicine and other relevant disciplines.
They equip nurses to respond to complex professional challenges with tailored actions by expanding and deepening their professional, personal, social and methodological skills.
