The workshop on ‘Collaboration with policymaking actors: How to maximise the impact of your work’ has reunited 26 participants. The aim of the meeting was to share practical strategies for coordinating and implementing effective recruitment and engagement of policymakers.
The workshop on ‘eCAN Community Presentation & Patient/Healthcare Professionals Engagement Strategy’ gathered 29 participants. The event was organised by The Lab of Medical Physics and Digital Innovation at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), WP8 member.
Digital tools are great allies in reducing the incidence of cancer, but they also bring challenges for both healthcare professionals and patients. Wendy Yared, director of the Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL), addresses some of these difficulties and talks about what is needed in Europe to save more lives.
OECD experts, Candan Kendir and Caroline Berchet, talk in this interview about the importance of including the patients’ voice in the policy-making process that have an impact on healthcare delivery. Working on how to create patient-centred healthcare systems is key for future policies. They both see the need of changing the way policies have been elaborated so far and explain here their vision and insights with the eCAN project in that respect.
The complicated health situation allowed to overcome regulatory barriers and the reluctance of patients and providers towards telemedicine. According to an OECD report, the number of teleconsultations increased significantly, playing a vital role in maintaining access to care, but only partly compensating reductions in face-to-face care.
The reports show gender and socio-economic gaps between and within member states, proving the need of comprehensive prevention policies to tackle current “unacceptable” inequalities.
This 4th of February, World Cancer Day, the eCAN Joint Action joins the three-year campaign #CloseTheCareGap and advocates for providing access to health prevention and care all over the World. Within its frame of work, as a European research project, eCAN is committed to closing the current care gap among EU countries by strengthening eHealth in cancer.
The virtual meeting for both the beneficiary and affiliated entities has made it possible to review the first steps of the Joint Action and briefly present what is to come. More than 50 attendees have participated in the debate between the Work Package leaders and the rest of the organisations.
