The Nurse-Lead consortium developed a competency profile for postdoctoral nurses which is the basis of the blended learning curriculum. The competency profile is evidence based and theoretically founded as it is based on a) a systematic review of the literature of research on postdoctoral competencies and a policy review on research policy documents; b) an expert group meeting with postdoctoral nurses in Europe; c) as well as focus group interviews, which were conducted with postdoctoral nurses and doctoral nursing students in each of the participating countries.
The Nurse-Lead consortium also set up an online community with a teaching format Learning Platform focusing on interactive learning in small groups. In the online community, the Nurse-Lead fellows, (post)doctoral nursing students and consortium partners will communicate. The e-learning modules are supervised by an expert and moderated by an e-moderator.
