This presentation is produced in the DigiCare project go-funded by Erasmus+ Capacity Building for Higher Education, CBHE. This is the seenth of ten learning packages produced in the DigiCare project as support materials for implementing the DigiCare model and supporting teachers with ready-made materials. The learning packages are designed to be adaptable to the specific needs of each Higher Education Institution (HEI) and healthcare student group. While they provide essential information, they are not exhaustive in their coverage. Active pedagogical tools are incorporated into the packages, which can be employed during theory lessons. Each presentation includes a Notes section below the slides, offering ideas for teachers and recommendations for further reading. The learning packages can be translated, edited, and supplemented with additional content as desired. The packages can be used as a complete set or individually, based on the specific requirements of users. Each learning package is accompanied by an introductory slides and the final slide provides information about the subsequent package in the series.
