Nursing Working Group

 

The Nursing Working Group in Primary Care operates under the auspices of the Clinic of Social and Family Medicine (CSFM) of the Medical Faculty of the University of Crete. Its aim is to develop and disseminate knowledge and experience in Primary Health Care (PHC) nursing throughout the 7^th Health Region of Crete.

This aim will be achieved:
1. by providing up-to-date, evidence-based nursing knowledge
2. by putting to use the possibilities of electronic communication and adopting an inter-disciplinary approach
3. by participating in research or educational projects to secure funding for particular actions.

The above principles are highlighted in the following selected areas of focus:
1. Integrated nursing care in the community
2. Evidence-based primary nursing care
3. Continuing education and training needs of nurses in PHC (Health Centres, Peripheral Practices, City Practices, Day Clinics, etc.)
4. Infrastructure – equipment – tools in Primary Care
5. Determination of the role, field of practice and minimum set of knowledge/skills/competencies for PHC nurses
6. Contribution of PHC nurses in health promotion and health education
7. Health services research in PHC nursing
8. Qualitative methodology in PHC

The Nursing Working Group in Primary Care is coordinated by Dr. Ada  Markaki
