Brunei - 69 new nurses and midwives attend induction course

SIXTY-NINE new nurses and midwives attended an orientation and induction course at the Ministry of Health (MoH) yesterday to familiarise themselves with performance expectations, priorities, responsibilities and work ethics.

Held at the Health Promotion Centre, the course, which ends on May 5, aims to introduce national philosophy and policies, the ministry's mission and vision, and the organisational structure of medical institutions.

It also seeks to familiarise new nurses and midwives with their tasks and responsibilities, positive work ethics and encourage teamwork among personnel.

Speaking at the opening ceremony was Acting Director of Administration and Finance, Abd Walid Hj Matassan, who stated that the course was designed to boost the spirit of teamwork among personnel and inculcate positive work ethics through programmes such as the teambuilding activity.

"The 69 nurses and midwives will undergo their orientation programme at the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital and a teambuilding activity at the Rambai Health Centre in Tutong," said the acting director.

He explained that the team building was conducted to raise awareness among medical personnel of the importance of following up with outpatients, taking initiatives, strategic planning, decision making and active participation in a team.

"The programme is not just for the participants to understand the content, but more importantly for it to be practised daily while performing duties and responsibilities when caring for the patients' well-being," said Abd Walid.

He then congratulated the participants for successfully completing their Diploma courses and joining the ministry.

Launching the event was the Permanent Secretary at MoH, Dato Paduka Hj Abd Salam Abd Momin.
