ESF 04.0080 –
Development of Post Graduate Specialised Training Programmes
The
Healthcare sector is in a continuous process of change and evolution due to
constant scientific and technological advances. The challenges related to this
journey for excellence are the motivators for Allied Health Professionals to
seek specialisation in particular areas. Enhancing specialisation and training
programmes for Allied Health Professionalism is the first step for improving
Allied Health workforce skills and maintaining high quality of care in Malta.
This project aims to improve the quality and
efficiency of Health services through the development of specialised training
programmes for various Health Professions in identified areas. This will
require research on local and international programmes and consultation with
stakeholders. The project will collaborate with Associations and support Allied
Health Professions to set up associations where these are not present. Various
stakeholders will form Specialist Training Committees to discuss areas of
Specialisation and develop programmes. The final phase of this project will be the
training of training coordinators. The setting up of these specialised Health
Programmes will restructure, strengthen and improve the overall delivery of
health services. Specialised Allied Health Professionals will have the skills,
knowledge and expertise to face the challenges and changes of the health system
which in turn will ultimately benefit the general public.
