Abstract
Given the current challenges regarding Healthcare-Associated Infection (HCAIs) prevention and control, a European Consortium of Healthcare Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) proposed the development of a pedagogical model comprised of innovative teaching and learning practices for nursing students - the InovSafeCare Model. This model focuses on developing students` competencies in HCAIs prevention and control, facilitating the learning of current best practice recommendations, encouraging critical reflection and the conceptualization of innovative solutions, and contributing to the improvement of care quality and safety.
