Personal Project

 

As part of the course participants will be requested to work on a personal project in the field of palliative and hospice care. They will be responsible for the development of the concept of the project and are expected to implement the first practical steps during the course of the European Palliative Care Academy.

The project can be implemented at the palliative care institution in which they are currently working or at the community/ regional level. The project should be new, feasible and affect positive change in the palliative care institution and/or the field of palliative care in the home region of the participant. It can be in any area of palliative care (i.e. service development, organisational development, advocacy, education, research).

The project idea needs to be presented with the application and convince the selection committee that the applicant is the right person to implement the project.

In the table below you can see the participants’ project titles from the Leadership Course 2015-2017.
