Project Groups

Care for the Dying: The 10/40 Model for Best Care for the Dying Person

The International Collaborative Facilitators Network is a group of health care professionals. They are responsible for the implementation and dissemination of their care plans based on the International Collaborative 10/40 Model of Best Care for the Dying Person within their region/state/country. They come together twice a year in person with 4 zoom meetings a year to share learning for further development and research. During Summer School, the Facilitator Network will be sharing their progress and is open to any health care professional working in this area of interest

Research 

Cui- DAR sessions will be in Spanish and led by the Cudeca Cui-Dar team. Cui-DAR is a Spanish EOL care plan based on the International Collaborative for Best Care for the Dying Person´s 10/40 Model. Participants attending this project group will receive a comprehensive presentation of Cui-DAR, together with practical clinical sessions where they will have the opportunity to learn how to use and implement it in their own clinical environment.

Improving Clinical Care

The Serious Illness Care Programme (developed at Ariadne Labs, Harvard University), is an intervention to improve communication, care planning and quality of life for patients with serious illness. Members of the International Collaborative have been working independently with the Serious Illness Care Programme in their own countries, and during Summer School will be working towards the integration of these activities into a structured research and development theme.

Project Groups

The EU Marie Skłodowska Curie Action Doctoral Network programme provides funding for the implementation of doctoral programmes by partnerships of organisations from different sectors across Europe and beyond to train highly skilled doctoral candidates, stimulate their creativity, enhance their innovation capacities and boost their employability in the long-term. This Summer School project group will work on an initial proposal for the development of a doctoral network across the International Collaborative.
