Diary of learning Events
September–DECEMBER 2020
Please note our new online booking system will be going live from January 2021. It will be
necessary for all staff to be registered with HSELanD or to update their profile if not
already registered.
Foreword
On behalf of the Centre of Nurse and Midwifery Education (CNME) Mayo/Roscommon team we are
delighted to present the Diary of Learning Events (DOLE) for September 2020 to December 2020. The
CNME supports the delivery of education in counties Mayo and Roscommon and is committed to
providing educational excellence. This year there will be some changes to the way we deliver our
education programmes with some taking place online and some in CNME Castlebar and the Arts
Centre, Roscommon. To ensure social distancing rules associated with Covid-19, maximum numbers
attending the Centres has been reduced.
In developing this Diary we have endeavoured to reflect the ethos of Sláintecare with a focus on
community and integrated care across the lifespan. All programmes/learning events facilitated by the
CNME have received Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) Category 1 approval and
allocated Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The CNME supports nurses and midwives in the
provision of education to enable quality, safe patient/client care delivery.
The CNME team look forward to continuing to build collaborative partnerships and new ways of
working as we progress local, regional and national education agendas for the professions of nursing
and midwifery during these challenging times.
I wish to advise that CNME, Mayo/Roscommon is implementing the National Digital Classroom
Management System (On Line Booking System). This is an exciting new venture which will allow
registered nurses midwives to register for programmes delivered by the CNME using an automated
booking process. The Classroom management system will be live on HSELanD Learning Management
System form January 2021.
Finally, I would like to thank the CNME team (listed below) for their on-going support and dedication
for Nurse and Midwifery Education in Mayo and Roscommon and for their rapid response to delivery of
Covid-19 related education and training.
