Pre-service and in-service education
We provide pre-service and in-service training packages that help educate clinicians and biomedical technicians to use, maintain, and repair the NEST360 bundle of technologies.
Training for both professions is spread out over one week and covers both theory and hands-on application followed by assessment and certification. By learning together professional silos are broken down, leading to better understanding, respect, and appreciation of each other’s roles.
Participants are typically drawn from NEST implementing facilities, and medical training colleges, as well as teaching institutions, i.e. biomedical engineering department staff.
Category of personnel | Number trained |
Biomedical Engineers | 600+ |
Clinicians | 6,000+ |
*all numbers reported above are cumulative since 2019.
ACCESS NEST360 CLINICAL AND TECHNICAL RESOURCES
Our publicly available clinical and technical education materials are designed to be adapted and embedded in locally-developed in-service and pre-service training courses.
WHERE WE WORK IN MALAWI
NEST360 has been implemented in 38 hospitals in Malawi. Malawi is the first country to reach scale and has 22 skills labs.
NEST360 skills labs are equipped with qualified technologies where doctors, nurses, clinical officers, and technical staff can learn and practice different newborn care techniques per Nigeria’s guidelines. Training includes hands-on learning and real-life application with newborn care equipment.
