The Aim
To identify the training requirements and
nursing skills for mobility* for working
nurses.
* The term Mobility here embraces the movement of nurses, patients and
workforce colleagues. Travel may be European, international long term or
transient, result from incoming migration to a country or outward migration to
another, and may include circular or transitional migration between countries.
EU Funding
This project was made possible by:Leonardo Da Vinci Lifelong Learning Funding
– The application was for the mobility stream and so the
emphasis was on travel,
–
– The emphasis was on the cross cultural sharing of ideas
– And learning about each others’ health care systems and
practices
