Information and point-of-care solutions provider Wolters Kluwer Health and the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) have announced that that they are creating and jointly providing a webinar series geared toward nursing professional development (NPD) specialists who administer continuing nursing education in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Scheduled to kick off in early 2015, the new series of webinars will provide both thought leadership and insightful teaching strategies for NPD specialists who are responsible for increasing the competency of the clinical staff. The live webinars offer continuing nursing education (CNE) contact hours and are offered free of charge to all ANPD members. Recordings of the webinars will be included in Lippincott Professional Development, a leading online professional development solution from Wolters Kluwer.
Experts from ANPD and the Lippincott Solutions team at Wolters Kluwer are working together to select a set of relevant and timely topics designed to enhance knowledge and raise the bar on professional development education. Topics under consideration include outcomes measurement, evidence-based teaching strategies, preparing the nurse of the future, and using social media as an educational tool.
The schedule and topics for the live webinars will be announced in December via the ANPD website, the Lippincott Solutions website, and social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Each webinar will be included into the Lippincott Professional Development library for use by current institutional customers or via www.lww.com for individual clinicians wishing to purchase access.
Lippincott Professional Development consists of evidence-based online courses organised into programs by key nursing specialties and topic areas such as critical care, disease management, infection control, obstetrics, pediatrics, patient safety and leadership. Designed to optimize nurses' clinical performance, most courses include CNE credit and are delivered in easy-to-learn, interactive formats. The product is the only professional development solution integrating "built-in" remediation support with direct links to evidence-based, point-of-care content from Lippincott Advisor and Lippincott Procedures.
