Summary

Introduction

The aim was to work in collaboration with VUCCnet focal points across Africa and APCA, ensuring that this new education initiative would enhance material already in place [11,12,13], minimise duplication and deliver a programme that was accessible and relevant to the intended participants. Discussions around participant groups, content, delivery, certification and accreditation, practical experience and ongoing educational research took place in July, informing the subsequent shape of the project. An introduction section sets out the aims, objectives and reflective practice prompts and includes a graded knowledge test to complete before opening the educational material.
