Continuing education
Continuing education is essential in the social and healthcare sector to ensure that staff stay up to date with the latest research findings and treatment methods. It contributes to improved care quality and patient safety. Moreover, it promotes professional development and motivation among staff, which in turn can lead to a better work environment and reduced staff turnover. Continuing education also helps adapt care to the changing needs and demands of society.
