The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, next January 27th at 17:00 hours (Spain), the webinar in Portuguese “The Role of Angolan Nurses in Patient Safety: Prevention of Medication Errors”, which will be given by Eduardo Elambo.
The event is held in collaboration with the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO), the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de Puerto Rico (International Iberoamerican University, UNIB), the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de México (International Iberoamerican University of Mexico, UNINI Mexico), the Fundación Universitaria Internacional de Colombia (International University Foundation of Colombia, UNINCOL), the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (International University of Cuanza, UNIC), and the Universidad de La Romana (University of La Romana, UNIROMANA).
The webinar, which is part of the Clinical simulation practice-based learning in nursing (CLINICALSIM) project, will focus on the role of nursing professionals in preventing medication errors. Medication administration in Angola is an activity for which the nursing team is routinely responsible. The speaker will discuss the most frequent types of errors in this process and possible actions to prevent them from occurring.
CLINICALSIM is a capacity building project targeting higher education institutions in Angola with the objective of improving the practical training of nursing professionals.
The project, led by the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), involves several Angolan institutions: Universidade José Eduardo dos Santos (UJES), Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (UNIC) and the Ordem dos Enfermeiros de Angola (ORDENFA). Portugal’s Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre (IPP) is also a partner in the project.
Eduardo Elambo is currently the president of the Ordem dos Enfermeiros de Angola (ORDENFA) and deputy director general of the Institute of Health Specialization of the Angolan Ministry of Health. A graduate in Nursing from Agostinho Neto University, with a master’s degree in Public Health, he was director of nursing at the General Hospital of Bié (Angola).
The conference is free and open to all those interested in the subject, and will be broadcast live in each country where FUNIBER has a presence. The broadcasting schedules can be consulted in this link.
