The European Centre of Excellence for Research hosted the Teamcare Kick Off meeting at the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, Dublin on 5th and 6th October 2023.
The meeting brought together the 12 partner organisations representing education and training providers, healthcare authorities, employment and educational research, public authorities, and a European network.
Teamcare aims to enhance the responsiveness of health and social care systems to the current societal challenges by targeting a specific existing mismatch between the skills currently characterising health and social care professionals working in multi-professional teams and those skills which are actually required by health and social care organisations to allow the shift to resilient and sustainable systems centred on community-based services, such as transversal, soft, and digital skills.
The beneficiaries of the project are: primary care providers in the community, health and social care professionals, social policy makers, higher education institutions and health service users.
The project involves a total of twelve partners from six European countries, Italy, Greece, Poland, Belgium, Austria and Ireland, from academia, education, public community bodies and private social actors, summarised below by country. From Italy: University of Genoa (UNIGE), Sistema Sanitario Regione Liguria (ALISA), The Italian National Agency for Regional Healthcare Services (AGENAS), Mattone Internazionale Salute Programme – PROMIS (ULSS 4 ProMIS), National Research Council (ITD CNR). From Greece: Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), 7th Healthcare Region Of Crete (7HRC), European Centre in Training for Employment (ECTE). From Poland: Medical University of Lodz (MUL), Lodzkie Region (LR). From Belgium: Reference Site Collaborate Network (RSCN).
