THE PROJECT AND ITS LEARNING RESOURCES

We are halfway through the third year of the project and we are very happy that we were able to achieve the proposed goals despite the global pandemic. Both WPs and planned outcomes have been successfully finalized. The second symposium of the project was held online due to the global health crisis  as well as the webinars organized by the partners.

Now everything is ready for the pilot of our MOOC and online courses aimed at preventing and treating work-related musculoskeletal pain. For free access to learning, teaching and training resources, you just have to download the P4Work APP, register your account and access the virtual platform.

Once inside, you will find a series of professional courses, videos and training programs developed for a multi-professional audience from higher education institutions, businesses and the broader socio-economic environment, including trainers, physical therapists, physicians, students, graduates, teachers and lecturers.

MOOCs and e-courses

Last May, the on-line courses aimed at workers in all sectors of activity, health professionals and students in the area of Health Sciences were launched.

The available courses are “Introduction to low back pain” and “Best practices for the treatment of low back pain”, which are tailored to different profiles (workers, healthcare professionals and students in the field of health sciences) and are available in English, Spanish, Italian and Danish. They last approximately 1-3 hours and can be taken now by downloading the P4Work App.

The MOOC Course entitled “Pain at Work: Myths and Facts” has 4 modules and addresses general aspects of musculoskeletal pain, as well as more specific ones such as low back pain, neck pain and pain at work. The course is designed for all profiles and is available in both English and Spanish.
