The Faculty was pleased to host a workshop titled "People-centred Health Systems in Europe" yesterday. An official Associated EU Presidency Event, the workshop explored how Government Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officers can help shape more people-centred health policies across Europe.

A workshop on "The Future of ECHOES: Interprofessional Education and CPD" identified priorities for developing sustainable, cross-border approaches to healthcare education and continuing professional development, while celebrating the project's achievements and impact.

Participants explored project findings and considered the platform's potential to connect professionals, researchers and institutions internationally.

Yesterday’s final conference showcased the ECHOES platform, designed to support teaching, research and networking across health, social care and well-being.

The INHWE conference focused on innovation in interprofessional education (IPE) and its role in preparing the healthcare workforce for an increasingly complex and rapidly changing care environment.

As a project partner, the Faculty was delighted to contribute to this collaboration and support INHWE's 6th International Congress of Health Workforce Education and Research, held at RCSI on Wednesday.

The project brought together an international consortium of partners, including Tampere University of Health Science, PMF Research and the International Network for Health Workforce Education (INHWE).
