The ET4Care Training Program
With “E-Training for Care” we want to reach medical specialists and train them in wound management with qualified specialists and then accompany them in practical application.
Our digital training program is primarily aimed at healthcare professionals who wish to further develop their skills in the field of wound management.
The digital training program consists of a total of 17 modules with approximately 20 hours of video content covering various topics. The program provides a thorough introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the skin, the different types of wounds and their causes, and the principles of wound healing. It covers topics such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot syndrome, hygiene practices for wound care, infection management, and nutritional aspects of wound healing.
In addition, the course covers modern approaches to wound management, including state-of-the-art wound care and materials, as well as the importance of proper wound assessment and documentation.
We believe that in an interconnected world, every person should not only have the right to the best possible medical care, but also the opportunity to access it.

The training course is divided into two sections, each of which concludes with an examination. Upon completion of the first section, an interim examination in multiple-choice format is held to assess and consolidate the knowledge acquired. Following the second section, a further examination is held to assess participants’ skills and knowledge in the field of wound management.
Upon successfully passing the final examination, participants will have the opportunity to obtain a certificate confirming their competence and successful participation in the training course. This certificate serves as proof that the training course was completed and successfully passed in accordance with the specified standards.
Participants can access the training from anywhere in Ukraine via a computer or smartphone, at any time. Participants will receive login details from their local team leader. Technical support services are available to team leaders on site throughout the course, including hosting and deployment costs for the Moodle platform, as well as system maintenance for two years.
The training should be completed within three months. In addition to the highly practical and clear online training, the practical application of what has been learnt is also part of the training programme. For this reason, it is important that healthcare professionals take part as a whole team on site and are able to support one another in the day-to-day application of the training.
Following a successful pilot project in 2022, the training programme was completely redesigned in 2025 and launched in Ukraine in early 2026. Find out more on the dedicated page.
