Models of education for care workers in Australian nursing homes: improving the care of older people
While research suggests that personal care workers prefer face-to-face interactive education and training, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the education landscape, and care workers are also embracing online learning. These education packages meet the needs of the personal care workforce, providing choice and flexibility: interactive learning in the context of care delivery or freely available online learning that can be undertaken in personal time.
