Re-imagining Care in North West London

We aim to examine the possibility of solutions through new forms of education and professional certification for Caregivers.

The event is hosted by CARE Campus, an EIT Health consortium of academic institutions and industry partners aiming at developing a new e-based training programme to provide quality education for carers, supporting the needs of elderly citizens across Europe. The project was set up in response to a dramatically ageing Europe and one clear consequence – the gap between the available supply of elderly caregiving support and the exploding need. With the current rates, by 2060, there will be one caregiver for 51 persons of 80 years old or more.

Rising to the challenge, CARE Campus is building a community across Europe to equip care givers – family, friends and professionals – with knowledge and skill to provide the best possible care to meet the needs which matter most to older people. The new course contains modules on personalised care training, age-related diseases, prevention and promotion, and emerging new technologies complete with online media resources, open access journals, and partnerships with NGOs in key cities across Europe. The project is funded by the European Union - EIT Health, whose mission is to transform the landscape of healthy and active ageing in Europe through innovation.
