Inclusion, integration and addressing the needs of marginalised groups, are key priorities for many European countries. CARDET, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture from Cyprus and partners from 5 EU countries participate in the project iDecide, under the ERASMUS+ KA3 Support for Policy Reform program of the European Commission. The project aims to develop an innovative toolkit, a mobile app, and an induction course to support evidence-based policy making that can lead to the reduction of disparities in learning outcomes and marginalization, by supporting school leaders, school staff, and policymakers to engage in shared and inclusive decision making. By implementing the toolkit and collecting rich data, partners will better understand the complexities of how decisions at school level influence marginalised groups. The project will also develop concrete recommendations for policy and practice on how to engage in shared decision making, giving voice to all stakeholders.

Health Communication Training for Health Professionals

Written by Super User on . Posted in Projects & Initiatives. No Comments on Health Communication Training for Health Professionals

Patient-doctor communication is an integral part of clinical practice, as it comprises the building block upon which the physician’s relationship with the patient is based on (Nelson, 2008). In fact, the way in which a doctor communicates information to a patient is equally important as the actual information being communicated. Nonetheless, it appears that vocational training opportunities on health communication are limited. Communication skills often remain poorly developed among health professionals. HCOM aims to bridge the gaps identified in the provision and training in communication skills for health care professionals across Europe. Its main objective is to map the shortage of relevant training, explore the needs and perceptions of health professionals concerning communication and develop a training programme on health communication. The long term goal of HCOM is to ultimately improve the patient-doctor relationship and health outcomes among patients across the EU.
