The CKT-UTAS is preparing to introduce nursing and midwifery programmes as part of its  running programmes.

This development will bring joy to the people of Upper-East region especially Navrongo as it will offer the opportunity for new students and practitioners the platform to acquire nursing and midwifery training and education.

In view of this, the Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council led a team to the University to discuss the development of the curriculla for the nursing and midwifery programmes.

Mr. Nyante stressed on the need for the curriculla to be developed to employ interactive, inclusive and innovative teaching and learning techniques.

He thanked the Vice Chancellor and his team for the strong collaboration between University and the  Council .

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Eric Magnus Wilson said the introduction of the nursing and midwifery programmes will
 strategically position nurses and midwives to contribute significantly to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 in the region and Ghana at large.

Present at the meeting were the Acting Heads of the Nursing and Midwifery Programmes and some Management Members of the University.

Mr. Felix Nyante has noted that the Council will not provide accreditation to nursing and midwifery training institutions who are not in good standing.
 
He said ‘’ the introduction of credentialing as part of the accreditation process by the Council will ensure that schools satisfy all regulatory standards.

‘’The credentialing will help determine the issues to be addressed in the institutions and promote the implementation of quality assurance mechanisms’’, he said.

The Registrar therefore urged the nursing and midwifery training institutions to have quality assurance systems in place in order to address deficiencies and improve upon their training and education.

Mr. Nyante made these known during an operational visit to the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Cape-Cost as part of his tour in the region.

He used the opportunity to interact with Staff and Students on issues relating to regulation
