Protestant ethics in ER nurses and doctors' training. Some acquisitions and considerations before and after a training course

Abstract

The article explores some of the preliminary reasons for and effectsof a training course on “Institutional, organisational and professionalidentification processes”, carried out at Aosta local HealthAuthority Accident and Emergency Dept. The article is based onthe analysis of a number of critical points that emerged ex ante,in itinere ed ex post regarding a complex and rarely examined topic,focusing on how training makes it possible to explore latentaspects of the organisation. The use of an appropriate methodologyhas revealed explicit requests for greater attention to typicallyorganisational aspects, which are typically neglected in the PublicServices. The hypothesis put forward is that the same dimensionscould provide a focus for research and productive application. Thearticle suggests that methodologies and instruments developed inthe public sector achieved an adequate degree of managerial knowledge to be “translated” into a National Health Service Accidentand Emergency Department setting.
