The National Rare Diseases Office has launched a new “Rare Disease Education Programme” which is now available on HSELand, the HSE online learning platform for healthcare professionals. The programme will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and includes an Assessment and an Extend my Learning section.
This eLearning Education Programme highlights the importance of rare disease awareness among healthcare professionals regardless of speciality or career stage. By providing information on rare disease resources, we aim to support healthcare professionals to recognise and deliver care to people living with rare diseases in Ireland.
By the end of this new programme, healthcare professionals will be able to:
- Define what a rare disease is.
- Explain the impact of a genetic rare disease diagnosis.
- Identify and understand rare disease resources and supports available to them.
