Redesigning healthcare education for our ageing society with ZOHRA
Challenge
In West Brabant, a number of elderly care homes (VVT) have partnered with schools to improve healthcare education:
- How do we train for the elderly care of the future?
- How do we deal with an ageing population?
- How do we ensure courses are better aligned with practice?
Approach
- Co-creation
- Implementation
- Parallel perspectives
- Coalitions
In 5 deep-dives, we stretched the playing field of: technology, educational innovation, customer thinking and experiences of healthcare professionals & students.
Concepts were then developed in 3 co-creation sessions from which the Zohra story was built and presented at an event for healthcare professionals.
The story was also further validated with different audiences and developed further.
From October 2023, as quartermasters, we are working on the strategic further development of Zohra, with an education pilot in Slotjes (Oosterhout) and the development of the competence offer as a compass for the target groups.
Result
There is a new story & starting point for care: adding life to days & working towards thriving (care) communities. Where care, well-being, innovation, connection and meaning are the pillars in which all target groups can develop. With programmes for every target group, from the elderly, informal carers, professionals to students, to put that new story into practice.
Zohra is now being implemented by 1) starting a programme for students (MBO/HBO) 2) developing the competences 3) as a quartermaster, developing the ideas together with even more stakeholders.
