H.E Abdulla Al Hamed launches the ‘Health Workforce Upskilling Platform’

The free platform consists of 10 virtual study units, all of which are compulsory for all healthcare professionals working in the ICU or those who may be called to work in the ICU, and five virtual study units that are compulsory for all healthcare professionals. There are optional units for physicians licensed by DoH as a specialist in critical care medicine or as consultants, and for nurses licensed by DoH as critical care nurses in accordance with the Unified Healthcare Professional Qualification Requirements. 

Shaikha Mohamed Nekhaira Al Dhaheri, Department Manager of Health Workforce Planning at DoH said: “Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been keen on documenting the lessons learned and exchanging the knowledge and experiences garnered, to ensure that we continue to improve the quality of health services and the efficiency of workers in the sector to achieve our vision of 'A Healthier Abu Dhabi.' Platform users will be able to learn more about the basics of working in the intensive care units so that they are ready and upskill themselves to be able to provide care to patients in these departments. This contributes to enhancing the sustainability of the sector and the availability of quality health services to those in need.” 

Platform users will receive a certificate of completion of learning with credited hours from the Continuing Medical Education (CME) after completing the required units. Healthcare professionals are required to complete the program requirements before March 31, 2021.
