N2  - A learning package designed to help decision-makers and planners develop a well-conceived system for continuing the education of health workers. Recognizing the need to stimulate broad-based interest and support, the book advocates use of a workshop, attended by policy-makers and people with influence in the health care system, as a starting point for the assessment of needs and formulation of plans. To this end, the book doubles as an introduction to the components of effective continuing education and a practical, how-to manual for organizing and conducting a workshop. The first nine chapters take readers through the range of problems and questions involved in identifying the needs for continuing education, developing a realistic plan for meeting these needs, implementing the plan, and then evaluating its results. The second part proposes a model timetable and schedule of topics for a five-day workshop, including 12 suggested exercises to be performed by participants. The final part offers practical tips on the day-to-day running of the workshop. Throughout the book, numerous practical examples, sample questions, check-lists, and tests serve to help readers think in terms of real situations, real problems, and realistic solutions
