As part of its commitment to improving healthcare in Ukraine, Mehad recently organised two medical training courses at its Lviv centre.
These sessions, led by experts, aimed to enhance the skills of healthcare professionals and prepare them to deal with a variety of clinical situations, ranging from immersive simulation to pain management in the context of conflict.
Dynamic clinical simulation with Francisco Guevara
The first part of these courses was led by Francisco Guevara, an expert in clinical simulation and a member of Mehad. The clinical simulation training was specifically designed for medical trainers. This immersive teaching approach offers participants a practical experience that goes beyond simple theoretical lessons.
Clinical simulation enables trainers to develop their teaching and clinical skills in a dynamic way. This training aims to strengthen the ability of trainers to effectively guide healthcare professionals in the management of patients, with an emphasis on responsiveness and decision-making in emergency situations.
Pain management in the context of conflict with Professor Raphaël Pitti
The second course was led by Professor Raphaël Pitti and focused on pain management in the context of conflict. This course was of particular importance, as it dealt with the complexity of pain management in traumatic situations linked to armed conflict.
Professor Pitti stresses the crucial importance of managing pain as soon as the wounded are taken into care. Pain, as well as being a manifestation of trauma, can itself become a factor in aggression, requiring rapid and appropriate intervention. The course focuses on adapting sedation and analgesia techniques in difficult contexts, with the emphasis on a strategic approach.
These training courses in Lviv, conducted with the support of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have strengthened the skills of healthcare professionals, helping to improve the quality of medical care provided in Ukraine. Mehad continues its commitment to medical training and skills upgrading, aiming to make a real difference to healthcare in times of crisis.
