Nord Health's training academy in Bremen serves as the test site for the "Inga Care 3.0" model project.
Let's Get Down to Brass Tacks:
Ta-da! The "Inga Pflege" project has roared back for a second round, with Bremen's Academy of Health North joining the party on January 13. But, it ain't just 'em - this bad boy is popping up in multiple locations across Deutschland.
Now, "Inga Pflege" is all about smoothing the way for internationally-trained healthcare pros to qualify and kickstart their careers in Deutschland. This dandy approach was road-tested in three facilities from 2022 to 2023, but this time around, it's gearing up to start in summer 2025. Wanna get in on this action? States can cough up an application to the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG). Good on ya, Bremen, for getting selected as one of the fresh meat in August 2024.
Germany's struggle with a skilled healthcare worker shortage is why initiatives like this are crucial, says Health Senator Claudia Bernhard. "To combat that struggle," she says, "we're bringing in nurses from around the globe." By implementing this innovative project in Bremen, the adaptation process for foreign healthcare pros will be chopped, set, and done in no time!
So, what's the lowdown on the other alehouses that'll be hosting "Inga Pflege"? The skinny is that the crew's chopping it up with Charité University Medicine in Berlin, DRK Nursing Association in Berlin, Oberhavel Clinics in Brandenburg, and University Medical Center Eppendorf in Hamburg.
Next up, these selected facilities will huddle with the German Competence Center for International Health and Care Professionals (DKF) to strategize how to implement "Inga Pflege 3.0" in both educational and working settings. The DKF will provide valuable support by taking into account specific requirements like local financing frameworks and professional recognition procedures.
Bremen had 327 applications for professional recognition of foreign healthcare pros submitted last year. Only 105 could waltz through the process, with most receiving the green light back in 2023 or earlier. Bow down, y'all, the "Inga Pflege" project is making waves!
