COVID-19 Skills Preparation Course

Provision of Training on Intensive Care Medicine Skills for Health Professionals Not Regularly Working on Intensive Care Units

ESICM is currently working for the European Commission to develop and deliver a training programme in Intensive Care fundamentals for healthcare professionals not regularly working in Intensive Care Units.

Funded by the European Commission, the C19_SPACE programme for the Provision of Training on Intensive Care Medicine Skills for Health Professionals Not Regularly Working on Intensive Care Units is available to doctors and nurses in all 27 EU Member States and the UK.

The project aims to promote the concept of a ‘healthcare army’ in case of deployment during potential surges of COVID-19.  Rapid training will be available for a multidisciplinary pool of selected healthcare professionals, who will acquire the skills to be able to support and assist ICUs in times of need.
