The international research group behind the development and start-up of the e-learning project REVAMP are gathered this week from 31 March to 1 April at the VID campus in Bergen.
REVAMP stands for Recognition and education in violence, abuse and neglect for medical and healthcare practitioners. The e-learning project is intended for medical and healthcare professionals in Erasmus+ participants countries.
Through the learning, medical and healthcare professionals will gain more practice and knowledge in recognising and responding to victims of intimate partner violence and abuse. There are three modules that are assessed: child and young person, adult, and older person.
VID is an active partner

A free and easily accessible training package for medical and healthcare professionals
The REVAMP project started in 2019, and a test pilot of the e-learning program, which is planned to be launched in August, will initially be developed. The intention is that this leads to a free and easily accessible training package that is translated into English, Norwegian, French, German, Greek, Lithuanian and Icelandic.
The medical and healthcare professionals who participate in the e-learning program and have a successful completion of the units and modules, will be able to download a Certificate of Achievement.
The project has been developed transnationally by partners in across Europe including the UK, Greece, Iceland, Lithuania, France, Norway and Germany. The meeting in Bergen is the third in a row.
