What You'll Learn
This course is a formal training program aimed at enhancing the competencies of allied healthcare professionals, nurses, and other health-related workers in the care of elderly individuals with chronic diseases, such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The need for this course stems from the lack of formal training programs available to upskill these healthcare workers in the management of these chronic conditions.
The course is aligned with recent healthcare initiatives, such as "Healthier SG," which emphasizes community-based and lifestyle-oriented healthcare delivery, and the "National Plans for Successful Ageing," which aims to increase the number of Senior Activity Centres to support the social and health needs of the elderly.
The curriculum focuses on empowering learners to effectively educate and guide patients in managing their health conditions through assessments, monitoring, and the implementation of medication and lifestyle strategies. Learners will also acquire practical skills in lifestyle modification strategies, exercise and dietary management, and the use of publicly available resources to plan their meals and exercise routines.
In summary, this course is a valuable investment in upskilling the workforce in the care economy, providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support elderly individuals with chronic diseases.
