The training programme at the Welcome of new professionals at ICO

In the months of June and July we carried out the second edition of the Training Programme during the Welcome to the new professionals that have joined us and who started working in our Institute last summer. This year there have been around thirty professionals who joined ICO.
This programme is meant to welcome them, to guarantee the minimum standard of knowledge to work with cancer patients and their relatives and to offer a space where orientation and continuous support can be found.
The programme, organized by the de Support and Evaluation Area of the Nursing Practice (ASPI), lasts 8 hours in total and includes:
• A de 3-hour session about ICO knowledge, rights and duties, work tools (documents, protocols and circuits) and safety of the professional (taught by Joan Bertomeu, doctor at Vigilància Salut)
• A 1-hour guided visit around the ICO in l’Hospitalet - Hospital Duran i Reynals
• A 2-hour workshop on how to react in the face of a cardio-breathing stop, taught by the Nursing Team of the REA in the HUB.
• A seminar on the Evaluation of the Onco-haematologic Toxicity taught by the nurse R. Azor.
• A workshop on infusors.

The response of the professionals who attended it in the years 2005 and 2006 was highly positive and they considered the contents very useful and applicable to their practice.
