A total of 508 nursing assistants from Regions One to Ten recently marked a significant milestone as they graduated from the Ministry of Health’s Hybrid Nursing Assistant Training Programme, a pioneering initiative designed to strengthen Guyana’s healthcare workforce.
The programme forms part of the Ministry’s broader Hybrid Approach to Health Education, which strategically combines virtual learning with hands-on practical training. This blended model ensures students are not only grounded in theory but are also adequately prepared to meet the demands of real-world healthcare environments.
The theoretical component of the training was delivered online, providing flexibility and improved access for students across the country, particularly those in hinterland and rural communities. This was supported by face-to-face tutorial sessions, allowing for deeper engagement, clarification of course material, and continuous academic support.
To further enhance learning, students participated in practical and clinical training within modern simulation laboratories established in several regions. These facilities provided realistic, hands-on experiences that bridged the gap between classroom knowledge and patient care, equipping graduates with the confidence and competence required in clinical settings.
