UPSC Lines

Strategic Lines:
With a view to developing the strategic area of providing Services to the Community, an activity plan was drawn up defining 5 lines:

Line 1- Provision of services abroad

This strategic line has an important expansion and development component, namely interinstitutional collaboration and the provision of services abroad.
Services:
- Clinical Laboratory
- +Mental Health Office

Line 2- Pedagogical component through interinstitutional collaboration

The adoption, by ESSNorteCVP, of an educational model supported by the acquisition of specific nursing skills and transversal skills for Higher Education students, is part of an evolutionary process of change at different levels. The paradigm shift from teaching based on the transmission of knowledge, to teaching in which the student plays a central and active role in the acquisition and development of skills, implies the definition of guidelines and priority areas towards sustained improvement the quality of teaching and learning.
One of the strategies for the student to play a central and active role in the acquisition and development of skills is to carry out activities in the community that are framed within the scope of curricular or extra-curricular units:
-Health Training;
-Health Promotion;
-Communication/Health Information .

Line 3- Integration into national projects and partnerships

According to the definition of some authors, the term “project” appears as a unifying goal for a wide range of concepts that are especially important in the learning process, having as a common denominator: the action carried out with personal involvement; the intentionality of this action and its insertion in a social context.
Projects under development:
- Ifone 112: Learn to save lives
- SleepWellOAZ
- Before You Burn
- Pair with Health

Line 4- Cultural, sporting and artistic action abroad

Sports and recreational activities are not only a way of occupying free time, but also actively contribute to the student's additional training and well-being. There are already some actions related to physical exercise, leisure and culture aimed at students, inside or outside the School.
The GPSC is responsible for promoting, supporting and encouraging projects and activities of a cultural, sporting, artistic and civic nature.
