Excellent research and expertise of quality of cancer care by internationally trained staff

The MSCA RISE -project “Excellent research and expertise of quality of cancer care by internationally trained staff” (INEXCA) aimed to utilize expertise across the globe to improve the research, researcher training and care of cancer patients, their family caregivers and patient and public involvement in international and inter-sectoral collaboration and exchange of staff. The objectives were to create innovative opportunities to improve research as well as researchers’ skills and increase knowledge transfer from research to business and clinical practice. The participants were representing academic, non-academic and clinical settings as well as Information technology and health related business experts. The participants in this project were from Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Italy and United States of America. Cancer is the major health problem globally and it impacts patients and families during diagnosis, treatment, and continues to affect them long into survivorship. In addition, improving quality of care is a high priority in most OECD countries.
