To support trainers in delivering the course on the Management of Child and Adolescent Tuberculosis, a comprehensive set of downloadable resources has been developed. These materials are specifically tailored for the National TB Programme (NTP) and other trainers, equipping them to provide structured and effective training to healthcare professionals. The resources include a detailed facilitator manual, slide presentations, transcript notes, case studies role plays and practical exercises designed to align with the course's objectives. Also, job aids and handouts that can be adapted locally have been designed, and guidance on printing of the materials is provided for situations, such as Training of Trainers (TOT), where hard copies of the materials are required.
Trainers can use these tools to enhance healthcare providers' ability to identify vulnerable groups, apply screening and diagnostic algorithms and implement treatment and adherence strategies. Additionally, the materials emphasise understanding of local epidemiology and tailoring interventions to specific community needs, ensuring participants can apply their learning in real-world primary and secondary healthcare settings.
We offer an online course on this platform on managing child and adolescent tuberculosis to help healthcare providers improve TB care at primary and secondary health levels. The self-paced course includes short, engaging educational units (~20 minutes each) with polls, quizzes, case studies, and multiple-choice questions to enhance learning. (Online Course on the Management of Child and Adolescent Tuberculosis)
The objective of these Resources for Trainers is to equip National TB Programme (NTP) trainers and other persons facilitating training with the knowledge, skills and resources to provide healthcare professionals with comprehensive training on the management of child and adolescent TB. These resources are useful in cascade trainings where capacity in child and adolescent TB is being created at sub-national levels of health services.
The target audience for the Resources for Trainers is trainers and other healthcare professionals in TB high-burden countries involved in training and capacity building of healthcare workers in the management of TB, child and adolescent TB or child and adolescent health.
Resources for Trainers include the following components planned for a 4-day training:
- Agenda for a 4-day training.
- Modules 1 to 8: Comprehensive lectures as PowerPoint presentations, organised into four daily training segments for streamlined learning and designed to be delivered by trainers as interactive lectures with frequent opportunities for group discussions. These modules are identical to the modules of the asynchronous course in Management of Child and Adolescent Tuberculosis.
- Group Activities: Facilitated group discussions and interactive exercises, including case scenarios and roleplaying activities that allow the learnings from the lectures to be applied to real-life situations.
- Case Bank: A collection of summarised case studies for practical application.
- Facilitator Manual: A step-by-step guide to conducting a ‘training of trainers,’ designed for cascading the course to sub-national levels at scale.
- Certificate Template: A customizable certificate for participants completing the course.
- Energizer Activities: Engaging activities to maintain participant focus.
- Job Aids: Practical tools and resources to support the application of learnings.
- Pre-and Post-Test: Assessment tools to measure knowledge acquisition and retention.
- Course Evaluation: A structured template for gathering participant feedback and evaluating the course's effectiveness.
You will find in the downloadable Resources for Trainers to cascade training in child and adolescent TB in your own setting.
