TB PAN-NET Project:

from you
Rosella Centis
TB PAN-NET:
Pan‐European network for study and clinical
management of drug resistant tuberculosis
• European consortium of 27 expert partners in the field of
drug resistant tuberculosis.
• Funded by the European Commission (FP7)
• Duration: from January 2009 to December 2013
• The aim is to coordinate activities to limit the spread of MDR
strains by supporting high quality epidemiological and
molecular analysis as well as training on MDR-TB.
• Consortium outputs will assist governments in the
development and implementation of appropriate health and
social policies to limit and control the spread of MDR-TB
within the member states of the EU.
Structure
The project is built around eight different work packages:
• WP1: Molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant strains in selected
metropolitan settings in Western and Eastern Europe
• WP2: Characterization of novel mutations involved in drug-resistant
phenotype and virulence markers
• WP3: Development and standardization of EQA for drug-resistant TB and
expansion of capability for culture-based and molecular-based techniques
for drug-resistant TB
• WP4: Development of integrated sites for clinical and diagnostic trials of
new drug applications, new diagnostics, and development of markers for
treatment success, and identify clinical and social factors, including HIV as
markers of resistance
• WP5: Training on TB clinical management, control and research (FSM)
• WP6: TBNET: Clinical research on TB drug-resistance in Europe
• WP7: Dissemination and information sharing (ERS)
• WP8: Management
Work Package 5 – Goal & Objectives
•
Goal:
Provide quality education and training on TB DR and in particular MDR-TB for TB
managers and Western and Eastern European clinicians in order to develop the
human resources on TB and thus curb the drug-resistant TB epidemic mainly by
using available tools.
•
Objectives:
1.
Develop a set of modules and materials based on international standards and
requirements and revise them after field testing
2.
Conduct training courses for managers of national /sub-national TB and TB/HIV
programmes, agencies and NGOs involved in MDR-TB programmes in EU with
special focus on Eastern European countries and globally.
3.
Educate and train European respiratory clinicians and specialists on state-of-the-art
management and control of MDR- and XDR-TB on the basis of the materials and
modules from Objective 1 (in collaboration with ERS)
WP5: objective 3
• Task: Organize in collaboration with the ERS School training
targeting mainly respiratory clinicians and specialists dealing
with TB-patients in Eastern Europe and former Soviet countries
using different methodologies and modalities :
– ERS External School courses
– ERS School Seminars
– ERS Postgraduate Courses on MDR- and XDR-TB
• The courses are based on the MDR/XDR modules and materials
developed by FSM easily adaptable to different settings
ERS PG course on “Training of Trainers” (ToT)
• For the first time ERS will train facilitators to be used
in ERS PG courses, External School courses and
seminars.
• This will allow delivering a quality and standardized
training relying on a pool of qualified facilitators.
Why the Training of Trainers session?
• Availability of an adequate number of specifically trained
human resources is a key point to ensure management and
control of TB DR and in particular MDR-TB
• The goal of this session is to prepare 25 tuberculosis
trainers who will train medical doctors from Eastern
Europe and former Soviet countries
• Trainings for medical doctors to fight with MDR-TB will be
organised by the ERS in collaboration with local societies
• Trained medical doctors will be able to carry out quality
medical practice in their countries and to train others in
how DR-patient management should be done
• ToT course is giving tips on how to deliver an effective
presentation by using standardized materials with added
value (presentations personalised modifying up to 20% of
the slides)
This initiative is
• Supervised by the ERS School of Respiratory
Medicine.
and coordinated with:
• the European Diploma in Respiratory
Medicine (Hermes project)
• the ERS MD PhD programme in Respiratory
Science
• the ERS series of online CME modules
Map of participants
Role of ERS
• ERS is the partner to organise ToTs
• ERS is leading WP 7 (information
dissemination and sharing):
– TB symposium
– Website
– Newsletters
– Press-conferences
– Assist with PGs, seminars, courses....
What we expect from you
• To be willing to participate as a
speaker/facilitator in the ERS School courses
around the EU at least once a year (maximum
twice) until 2014
• To be able to replicate the course without the
support of TB PAN-NET and ERS
• To train people in your countries based on
standardized material of ToT
How is the ToT conducted?
• The TB PAN-NET Project (WP 5) has developed a competencebased training package composed of 3 Manuals (Participant,
facilitator and course director including 3 Parts and 28 Units).
• One of these Units is specifically addressing MDR- /XDR-TB.
• The core of this Unit has been mailed to you before the
training.
• You have been given instructions on how to personalize it,
adding up to 20% of slides.
• What slides may you want to add? These slides may include
pictures and animations you are familiar with, as well as
studies/reports than you feel are useful to focus your
presentation to a specific country and/or audience.
The ToT will have the following scheme
• The rational and background for it will be provided
• Some tips on how to deliver an effective
presentation will be suggested
• The structure of the MDR/XDR-TB presentation will
be summarized
• An example of personalized presentation will be
provided by a ERS speaker
• Some examples of personalized presentations will be
provided by ToT participants, followed by plenary
discussion
