Report summary
The group of experts received a decision on appointment and the documentation for
evaluation on 27 July 2020. It convened at two preparatory meetings and then held online
discussions with the representatives of the Faculty of Health Sciences and external
stakeholders on 14 and 15 September 2020. 6 discussions were held each day. At the end
of the second day of evaluation we shared our preliminary findings with the faculty
management. We received all self-evaluation reports, necessary documentation that
together with information from the discussions served as the basis for the evaluation
report. The self-evaluation report covers the educational activities of the faculty. Indicators
are monitored according to individual categories and years. For each indicator, an overview
of activities planned in the previous year is provided. The self-evaluation thus follows the
planned activities and defines new measures for improvement to be carried out in the
future. However, we found that the quality loop is not fully closed. Self-evaluation of both
study programmes under assessment is in place. Teachers usually express proposals to
change a study programmes and such proposals are discussed at the corresponding
department. In addition, proposals from student surveys are also taken into account. The
last thorough change of the first cycle study programme in nursing was introduced in 2015
while taking into account the 2013/55/EU Directive. This change regarded minimum
duration and size of theoretical and practical training of graduate nurses/health care
workers. The Master's programme in nursing is currently being revised for change. All study
contents are constantly updated and are thus in lock step with current state of the
profession and trends at home and abroad. Special attention is paid to achievement of
subject-specific competences both in the theoretical domain of knowledge and in clinical
training. The latter is well organized and regulated. Students expressed great satisfaction
with accessibility of teachers, librarians and professional workers in student affairs office.
We propose that the faculty implements the plans regarding the increase of facilities. Some
20
teachers should be additionally educated and more student and teacher tutors should be
trained. Students should be appropriately informed about tutorship. Practical training could
improve by expanding the list of activities and interventions which the student then only
marks.
