The results of the city competition of professional skills “Moscow Masters” among care assistants have been summed up in the capital. This year, more than 100 social protection and healthcare workers competed for the victory, reported Oksana Shalygina, Deputy Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow.
“Two years ago, a unique and first in Russia simulation center for training in professional care skills was opened at the Scientific and Practical Gerontopsychiatric Center. During this time, more than three thousand employees of the social protection system have improved their qualifications at the institution, which has improved the quality of life of people in need of professional and safe care and attention. Care assistants are specialists working in inpatient social service institutions, hospitals, palliative care departments, and at home. They care for the most vulnerable categories of city residents – the elderly and Muscovites with special needs. Last year, for the first time, the specialty of “care assistant” was included in the list of professions of the “Moscow Masters” competition. The competition format made it possible to create a unique space for exchanging experiences – this contributes to the development of the social service system in the city,” said Oksana Shalygina.
This year, the competition was held in three stages, with participants demonstrating professional skills at each stage — from first aid and care manipulations to communication ethics. In the final, seven contestants from the social protection sector competed in a blitz game and made video presentations on the topic of “Philosophy of Care”. The winner of the competition was Olesya Kaplunova from the O.V. Kerbikov social home.
Special interactive areas were prepared for guests, where they could improve their sensory abilities, learn about modern care products and technologies, and feel like an elderly person using a special suit.
Every year, the winners of the Moscow Masters competition receive cash grants. The winners are awarded 300 thousand rubles, silver medalists – 200 thousand rubles, and bronze medalists – 150 thousand rubles. Last year, more than 120 winners and prize winners of the competition in all competencies received grants.
The Moscow Masters professional skills competition has been held since 1998. About 20 thousand people participate in it annually in 40 specialties. In 2024, for the first time in the history of the competition, care assistants, whose professional standard was approved in 2023, competed for prizes.
Within the framework of the program “City nursing homes of a new type”, standards for the work of residential institutions have been developed. They are based on respect, safety and comfort for residents. In 2021, simulation classes were created at 11 institutions to train care assistants, and in 2023, a simulation center was opened. It trains not only social security employees, but also Muscovites who care for relatives.
The Simulation Center is a unique complex for training professional caregivers. The Center is the main educational platform in Moscow in its field, it trains specialists according to a new professional standard. About three thousand assistants in boarding schools and five thousand social workers at home work in the capital’s social sphere. They help elderly Muscovites, people with disabilities and residents with cognitive disabilities.
