The Centre is active in responding to the needs of entities and facilities in the area through performance mandates, through assessment and advisory work in the area of healthcare practices and policies.
The Centre contributes to training at Bachelor's and Master's level, specifically in some modules of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, the Master of Science in Nursing and the Master of Science in Business Administration.
The Centre is active in CAS, MAS and DAS pathways in healthcare. Among the topics in which CPPS researchers are involved as lecturers are healthcare ethics, interprofessionalism, medical humanities, management of healthcare organisations, integrated care, home care and case management. In addition, CPPS researchers are particularly present in the research methodology modules of the Department of Business Economics, Health and Social Care.
The Centre is also active in Personalised Training, developing ad hoc training courses designed according to the needs of organisations or facilities in the area that wish to offer in-house training to their staff. The main feature of these training offers is flexibility, in terms of setting, didactics, location and timetable. The contents are related to the areas of competence of the CPPS.
By way of example, tailor-made courses may touch on topics such as the well-being of carers (stress management, workplace ergonomics, etc.), the relationship with a particular clientele (elderly drug addicts, dialysis patients, etc.), specific aspects of professional practice (inter-professional collaboration, organisational dynamics, etc.) and healthcare management, etc.
