Continuing Professional Education for Nurses Planned for 2027
On 22 September 2026, the Accessible Quality Healthcare (AQH) Project organised a workshop in Pristina with Continuing Professional Education (CPE) coordinators and specialised clinical nursing instructors working in Primary Health Care (PHC).
The workshop focused on developing the 2027 Annual Continuing Professional Education Plan for nurses, as part of efforts to ensure the sustainability of AQH-supported training programmes on the management of noncommunicable diseases in PHC.
Particular attention was given to integrating the training programmes on motivational interviewing and care for older people into the annual plan and the regular Continuing Professional Education mechanisms for nurses working in Main Family Medicine Centres.
During the discussions, participants highlighted the need to organise a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme for CPE coordinators and specialised clinical nursing instructors.
Strengthening the training capacity among CPD coordinators and clinical nursing educators is essential for building a sustainable pool of qualified trainers. This will enable them, as committed to for the coming year, to independently organize and deliver the relevant trainings at the MFMC level, using their own capacities and without further support from the AQH project
