Training programme consisting of different modules

The project will have a pool of 35 training days to be divided among the following modules : 1. a basic module for the scientific core group of 40 PHIT staff to transfer relevant knowledge of occupational health and diseases in order to improve the scientific knowledge of this group 2. a module to equip a selection of 20 PHIT staff (Group A) with a set of skills and strategies for the development of research projects and for effectively communicating the significance of their scientific activities. This module will in particular support the realisation and the output of WP 4 Scientific Excellence. 3. a module to develop the necessary knowledge and skills of 20 PHIT staff (Group B) on international coding systems for diagnosis and reporting occupational diseases, harmonising statistics and classifications. Hence, this training will help PHIT to build the enhanced information platform envisaged in WP 3 ICD+ innovation. 4. a module “Train the trainer” for 20 PHIT staff (Group C): the knowledge and skills acquired in these sessions by members from the core group will allow them to teach the material to staff members of the community health centres (= end users) elsewhere in Turkey. This “Train the trainer” concept ensures that a large number of health care professionals get high quality training and this will contribute to the impact of the project in the foreseeable future after completion
