| Summary |
Letter of concern expressed by Steven Donohue regarding training methods - valuable for wider audience. |
| More Details |
Recently, facilitators of the Initiative for Sub-District Support in Bothaville (David McCoy and Martha Chao) organised a two-week clinical training programme for nurses, in response to a strongly felt need amongst nurses that they lacked both skills and knowledge for the clinical responsibilities expected of them. Given the urgency, it was decided to fast track a clinical training component. But other ISDS facilitators, notably Steven Donohue, disagreed with this strategy - arguing that short course training in isolation is too simplistic a response to a complex problem.
Stevens objections were spelt out quite articulately in an open letter to all ISDS facilitators. David and Marthas response convinced us that this training was not a flash in the pan, but served to kick start sustained support. Nevertheless, we felt that the issue was so pertinent to human resource development in South Africa generally, that we should share that letter with you. Its provocative, but well worth reading and thinking about. |
