Objective: We have systematically worked on laying the foundation to implement projects that support development of medical professionals by using a network of university and medical facilities. The objective is to acquire new knowledge to develop a future nursing consortium based on the results.
Results: 1. A field survey on development of experienced nurses was conducted targeting medical facilities in City B with which agreement was formed to discuss on the concept of nursing consortium with University A. 2. "Training for nurses in the vicinity of City B to deepen discussions and exchanges through class observation at a university" was conducted based on the training needs obtained from the survey results. 3. "Training to connect a remote location and a university by Skype" was conducted. Respective results were confirmed and have been incorporated in the annual training plan at each medical facility.
Discussion: A university that have been developing a foundation for relationships since opening as well as medical facilities systematically assigned people in charge to train experienced nurses, and the project is moving into a constructive stage including refinement of the planning content.
Conclusion: Creation of a place for both the university and medical facility to propose and examine business plans is the issue for the nursing consortium to continue its activities. Regarding a stable project of a university, a structure needs to be maintained such as organization and budgeting.
