ECSACON has partnered with RCSI Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery and RCSI Institute of Global Surgery to produce Perioperative Nursing E-learning Foundational Programme (PeN Programme).

This one year Programme aims to support the development and maintenance of clinical competence in perioperative nursing care and to contribute to safe patient care pre/during and after surgery in East, Central, and Southern Africa. 

It will provide learners with up to date, evidenced based knowledge to critically develop their theoretical and practical understanding of nursing care delivery in the operating theatre environment. 

Programme content was created by writing teams of experienced nurses from clinical operating departments in seven countries.
