CARE Campus - Caregiving and Ageing Reimagined in Europe

Overview

Project Summary

CARE Campus focuses on one of the least recognized workforces in healthcare: the informal and formal caregivers. Currently, formal and more specifically informal caregivers are the “hidden” healthcare workforce. Whilst they are an integral part of the core of an integrated care model, they are often considered as being at the fringe of the healthcare ecosystem and are generally overlooked in terms of training and support (3). Yet, it is duly recognized that the aptitude of caregivers in terms of values, skills, and knowledge, and the way their integration are organized and managed are all important to determine the quality of care and the life outcomes of the elderly population (4).

Main Goals

CARE Campus core mission is to increase the resilience of the healthcare system by improving the integration and knowledge of formal and informal caregivers at scale in Europe and across the globe.

Through supporting the development of formal and informal caregivers for the elderly, as an important healthcare workforce, we aim to contribute to reshape the healthcare ecosystem into one that becomes efficient and capable of responding to the needs of the community and especially the most vulnerable populations. This challenge requires bold vision, and an integrated and coordinated response by all players within the healthcare ecosystem.
