NET2019 - Employing entrepreneurial thinking to Post-registration Critical Care Nurse Education delivery

The East of England Adult Critical Care Network formed a consortium with 21 Critical Care Units within the region to deliver two Critical Care Nursing Modules, in two strategically located sites. An HEI was selected to accredit the modules, whilst clinical practitioners within these 21 units would undertake the delivery. CPD delivered in clinical practice and not in the university setting, is an initiative developed from entrepreneurial thinking, and does not come without challenges. This new educational model can have a positive impact on allocation of organisational resources, workforce retention, transferability and consistency in critical care education within the region.
