“Innovative education in the medical and health sciences for improved teaching strategies on the health needs of pregnant and postpartum women” is a project addressed at women during pregnancy and confinement, students of medical courses, doctors, journalist propagating health issues as well as students and their parents in relation to health prophylaxis programmes.The project is inspired by the need for constant upgrades in the modern didactic methods, better adjustment to the needs of the society and the economy, increasing the quality of education, boosting the attractiveness of teaching on medical and health sciences courses, expanding and grounding the occupational and scientific professionalism of students. This project completes the KA 203 Strategic Partnerships project entitled “Education programme for students of medical and health sciences faculties in the field of conservative treatment of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction” (project no. 2018-1-PL01-KA203-051055), executed in collaboration with the University of Cadiz (Spain) and Gabriele d’Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy). It is the answer to the contemporary health protection needs of pregnant and postpartum women. As a result of the innovative outcome of intellectual work, an interactive platform will be established to serve as a modern and flexible system of online communication. Every person interested in such issues will be able to access concrete information in the form of advice, pointers, medical novelties, photo galleries, online courses, instructional videos, interactive lectures and a forum. The platform will be accessible at any time and place. This interactive platform for pregnant and postpartum women will be set up only by persons with professional links to medicine and a valid license for their practice: midwives, nurses, physiotherapists, doctors and paramedics. The topic of the project has been taken up by three partner universities: Opole Medical School (Poland), University of Cadiz (Spain) and Klaipėda University (Lithuania).A medical simulation method is employed in the project; it also used in teaching clinical skills as it creates a base for solving complex clinical situations and making appropriate decisions.Education via simulation perfectly matches the educational standards as it allows for:– reproducibility of procedures in an unlimited number of tries, depending onindividual needs, without unnecessary fear or stress on the part of students and their patients.– high-level preparation of students for reacting and commencing standard medical procedures under any circumstances.The result of the project lies in the desired modification of the currently developed educational programme in relation to the selected course of study, so it adapts to the specificity of particular medical professions. The permanence and efficiency of the project will be ensured in a long-term perspective, after its conclusion. Therefore, the project activities also point to the fact that the enterprise in an element of a large-scale competence support strategy at the university.The results of intellectual effort will be directly applied by the universitiesengaged in the project and used after its conclusion by, among others, – expanding the online platform with knowledge and competence of experts from other areas of medical sciences, health sciences and medicine– developing common and unified methods of prophylaxis in eliminating the modifiable risk factors for the pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, medical training and prophylaxis regarding ailments during pregnancy and after giving birth– writing an international handbook on the diversity of prophylactic and therapeutic measures during pregnancy and postpartum– conducting classes for medical and health sciences in the Medical Simulation Centres using phantoms– introducing a new subject for students of medical sciences on prophylactic and therapeutic measures during pregnancy and postpartum, along with a joint set of classes at the partner universities that would allow for a smooth exchange of lecturers, specialists and students to complete a part of their studies, gain professional practice or conduct classes.
