Objective:
To analyze and consider scientific documents which develop the impact of Continuous Training in health sciences.
Design:
Literature review
Study Selection:
18 articles are included, organised in two categories: a) the theory and application of Continuous Training to healthcare professionals, b) the impact of Continued Training in healthcare organisations.
Results:
All of the authors position themselves clearly in favour of CT in healthcare organisations in all professional categories (whether healthcare or not), as a strategic instrument of change and growth. The importance of assessing the impact that both professionals and institutions have on the end-product (i.e. the health of people) is emphasised. Despite the difficulties involved, to establish their impact is of vital importance in order to verify their benefits and effectiveness.
Conclusions:
Regular assessment is essential for introducing changes in training programmes so that they are adapted to the requirements of healthcare organisations and the needs of their professionals.
