Yesterday marked the final day of our course piloting week. We travelled to Tallinn and spent the day at East Tallinn Central Hospital, where we had the opportunity to visit several hospital departments. Our tour was led by Johanna Kraas and her colleagues - dedicated in-service nurses who shared valuable insights into their daily professional practice and experiences.

After the tour, we held thoughtful discussions about the course and the materials we have developed so far. One of the main aims of our project is to identify the needs and meet the educational expectations of in-service nurses, supporting them in building confidence when communicating in English in their professional environment.

Following insightful feedback, we concluded the day by exchanging final ideas and presenting participation certificates.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Alesia Golovko and her team from Tartu Tervishoiu Kõrgkool / Tartu Applied Health Sciences University for hosting this inspiring and productive piloting week of the “PERFECT” project.
