PERFECT Kick-Off Meeting, Tartu

 The first meeting of the PERFECT – Promoting English Readiness For Effective Care and Trust of Nurses project, funded by the European Union, has successfully taken place!
Bringing together six beneficiaries from four countries — Estonia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Ukraine — this collaborative effort unites five universities (Tartu Health Care College, University of Primorska, University of Rijeka, Bukovyna State Medical University, Kharkiv National Pedagogical University) and Ida-Tallinn Hospital.

The project aims to:

• Update the BA course “English for Nursing and Healthcare”
• Develop an interactive book for nursing professionals
• Provide English language professional development for in-service nurses. 

 During the meeting, key aspects such as the implementation plan, dissemination strategy, and quality assurance framework were discussed. Participants were honored to receive a warm welcome from Svitlana Shytikova, Head of the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine, and Ulla Preeden, Rector of Tartu Health Care College.
This marks the beginning of an exciting journey toward enhancing English proficiency in the nursing field and strengthening international cooperation in healthcare education. Stay tuned for updates!
