Two hundred foreign nurses and carers have begun Maltese language lessons through a program initiated by Melita Training and Resources Management (MTRM) and Healthmark.
The training focuses on Maltese terms related to patient care, hygiene, first aid, and emotional support, emphasizing empathy and effective communication.
The program includes practical sessions in simulated environments and is led by a qualified nurse with teaching expertise.
MTRM, a private company within the GWU, is licensed and accredited by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA). Its mission is to provide adults with educational opportunities to develop skills and competencies for self-sufficiency and gainful employment.
Healthmark, a leading Maltese company, recruits, trains, and deploys carers and nurses to various hospitals and elderly homes in Malta. As its workforce grows more international, Healthmark recognizes the need to enhance spoken Maltese proficiency through accredited programs.
MTRM CEO Lewis Spiteri stated, “Our goal is to improve patient care by providing comprehensive training for caregivers. This program is already significantly impacting healthcare services in our community.
We are grateful to Healthmark for their support in realizing this program.”
Healthmark CEO Charlotte Sant Portanier added, “We constantly strive to improve our quality of care. We ensure we have enough workers to meet the growing healthcare demands and that every worker is qualified and sensitive to our local environment and patient needs.”
