The new era, Health Quality 5.0, for which we are preparing health personnel, must enable and be embedded in an integrated, coordinated and people-centred health system supported by a learning health system and new Quality Assurance (QA) approaches.

The work of health professionals is expanding in scope, scale, and urgency to respond to large-scale global changes and challenges, including risks to safe, accessible, and quality health care, as well as a crisis in workforce resilience and the erosion of public trust. Furthermore, the rapidly changing environment and replacing face-to-face encounters with new communication technologies and social networks threaten students’ well-being and mental health (Haidt & Allen, 2020).

As the Erasmus+ “BEHEALTH” project covers VET in nursing (NVET) and WBL at different International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) levels of education, the mentors are healthcare professionals, the mentees are nursing students, and the administrators are people who manage and supervise the programme.

The following document –Quality Assurance practices and Frameworks for VET and WBL in Nursing– is the basis for developing the 360-degree self-assessment questions and an Intelligent Mentoring Tool. It defines basic terminology and outlines quality assurance practices and frameworks for VET and WBL in nursing education.

The “BEHEALTH” project team mapped and analysed information about QA practices and frameworks for VET and WBL in Nursing at the Global, European, and National levels in Slovakia, Hungary, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, and Ireland and summarised knowledge for QA frameworks for organisations offering nursing qualifications and WBL in nursing.
