Providing care is never a solo endeavour. How can healthcare professionals continue to collaborate with enthusiasm and resilience, even in challenging circumstances?
We explore how professionals can work effectively across disciplines and within teams, strengthen one another, and maintain good mental wellbeing. Our research, insights and practical methods help teams stay connected, energised and sustainable in the way they work.
Our current projects
Primary Care Academy 2.0
The Academy promotes high-quality, integrated primary care and support by bringing together professionals, educators and stakeholders through training, collaboration and knowledge exchange.
PSYWELL 2.0
The project explores factors influencing the psychosocial well-being of newly qualified healthcare professionals, informing tools to support their transition into work and prevent early career dropout.
FAITH 4.0
The project focuses on the sustainable implementation of digital conversation tools to help children and young people recognise and regulate their emotions, build resilience and communicate their needs.
Interprofessional education
This platform strengthens interprofessional education by enabling students from different disciplines to learn together, improving collaboration between professionals and ultimately enhancing the quality and continuity of care.
On-site healthcare simulation? We come to you!
This project uses immersive, simulation-based learning to strengthen teamwork, communication and decision-making among healthcare professionals and students, bringing realistic training and research directly to healthcare settings.
Occupational balance
The project supports primary care professionals in helping parents of children with specific support needs maintain occupational balance, well-being and quality of life through tailored conversations and counselling.
EBSOLLICT 2.0
The project investigates different simulation-based learning modalities to strengthen healthcare education, professional development and non-technical skills, while expanding digital and immersive simulation opportunities for education and research.
