BeWell Courses on Digital & Green Skills & Next Generation Digital and Green Skills
The BeWell project addresses the need to prepare the health and care workforce for green and digital solutions introduced in the European health and care systems, to ensure they can respond to current and future challenges.
European countries have increasingly been recognising the importance of adopting green and digital solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the health challenges that Member States have been facing, and the pressures on health systems, but it has also provided an opportunity for European countries to accelerate their digital and green transitions via the mass adoption of digital solutions in a world requiring physical distancing.

Explore the principles of the GDPR in healthcare, including data management, patient rights, secure data exchange, and the role of the Data Protection Officer. Case studies highlight best practices and consequences of non-compliance to enhance understanding of health data protection.
The “Healthcare-ICT” course is a five-module program designed to upskill healthcare workers, especially medical technicians, in digital health systems. It covers Electronic Health Records (EHRs), the benefits of data digitization, and managing clinical data with RIS/PACS systems. The course also explores system architecture, data flow, and the technical aspects of implementation, including hardware, software, and required skills.
This 6-module course aims to develop the knowledge and skills of health and care workers in Microsoft Office and Google Suite packages to use these tools in their daily work, through numerous practical exercises.
This course emphasises the application of electronic health records to improve medical care, healthcare services, and health promotion and to empower people to know and manage their health.
This module equips participants with essential problem-solving and digital teamwork skills for modern professional environments, especially healthcare. Participants will learn methodologies like Design Thinking, stakeholder analysis, and project management tools, vital for creating effective, lasting solutions.
This course explores telemedicine and its applications across various health services, including prehospital and specialist care. Participants will learn about video technology, its practical use with patients, and key considerations like security, privacy, and service providers. The course also covers the role of telemedicine in innovation, sustainability, and healthcare collaboration, along with training for both patients and professionals in using telemedicine solutions.
Discover how telemedicine revolutionises healthcare through televisits, teleconsultations, and telenursing. Learn practical applications such as remote patient monitoring and explore how technology enhances continuity of care, patient education, and clinical outcomes. This course covers key innovations, security considerations, and best practices for integrating telemedicine into modern healthcare services.
Green Skills Courses
The course aims to provide an introduction to the EU policy context of planetary health, and what planetary health encompasses, and delve deeper into planetary health education and interdisciplinary collaboration.
This course explores green skills and their role in making healthcare more sustainable. Participants will learn key concepts, including what green skills entail, their main topics, and practical applications. Through real-world examples of best practices, the course provides both theoretical knowledge and actionable solutions that can be integrated into daily healthcare operations to promote environmental responsibility.
This course examines the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the One-Health approach, highlighting the links between environmental health, sustainability, and planetary health. Participants will explore the impact of environmental contaminants on health and discover sustainable practices that promote well-being while protecting the planet.
Explore the environmental impact of hospital pharmaceutical waste and discover effective mitigation strategies.
