On January 15, 2025, the Polytechnic in Bjelovar hosted the first lecture as part of the continuous education program for nurses, titled “Nursing Interventions in the Management of Polytraumatized Patients” 🩺. The lecture was delivered by Silvija Ćenan, mag.med.techn., from the University Hospital Dubrava, and our alumna, Marija Keser, bacc.med.techn., from the University Hospital Centre Rebro.
