INTERACT-EUROPE 100, Work Package 3 - Programme Delivery

Leader: SCUOLA EUROPEA DI ONCOLOGIA ASSOCIAZIONE (ESO)

Training Europe in Inter-Specialty Cancer Care!

The WP3 team, led by ESO, is working towards establishing a network of central and local facilities to support the programme’s delivery, especially through training sessions and trainee engagement at cancer centres. The WP3 team also aims to adapt and deliver the programme in Ukraine, catering to the specific needs of the region.
 
Following the project philosophy of stakeholder involvement and inclusion, the WP3 team has been actively involved in the Education Board of WP2 to stay informed about the developments of the educational programme, as well as held meetings with the leading cancer centres to consult and brainstorm the best way to deliver the programme.
 
To get there, the WP3 team has already identified the Super Trainers for the TTT (Train The Trainers) courses, and is now organizing the first TTT course. This way, the team is ensuring that the programme trainers are on the same page and have the essential insight to train the trainees.
 
In more technical terms, this is translated in the delivery of two key tasks of the project:

• T1.2, Onboarding partners, which is expected to have completed all its meetings by the end of May.
• T3.1, which involves a meeting with the pioneer cohort from the predecessor project, INTERACT-EUROPE, to explain the purposes and following steps of INTERACT-EUROPE 100.

The team is working to align with the rest of the WPs (especially WP2 and WP4), as fluid communication with other WPs is fundamental to ensure that the consortium plays as a synchronized orchestra.

Objectives:

The primary objectives of Work Package 3 include establishing a network of central and local facilities to support the programme's delivery, especially through training sessions and trainee engagement at cancer centres. Additionally, Work Package 3 aims to adapt and deliver the inter-specialty cancer training programme in Ukraine, catering to the specific needs of the region.

Description:

Work Package 3 unfolds through a series of tasks strategically designed to ensure successful programme delivery and support:

T3.1 – Support pioneer cohort to completion:

The pioneer cohort will serve as ambassadors, offering valuable feedback to improve the programme. A protocol will be established to transfer completed curriculum elements into the online learning environment.

T3.2 – Delivery of Train-the-Trainers support:

Train-the-Trainers sessions will prepare local trainers and nominate trainee trainers from up to 100 cancer centres. Super Trainers will guide sessions focusing on programme objectives and content.

T3.3 – Welcoming and familiarisation of cohort 2 trainees (virtual):

Online 'welcome sessions' and a training guide will familiarize new trainees with programme requirements and support systems.

T3.4 – Central and local support systems:

Ongoing support systems will be implemented, with leading cancer centres providing local support. WP3 task leader and WP2 will collaborate to ensure effective learning environment functionalities.

T3.5 – Course completion assurance and certification provision:

Clear expectations and requirements for course completion will be established, and a system for monitoring progress will be implemented, including CME credits.

T3.6 – Report on programme delivery:

A comprehensive report will be compiled, incorporating input from Work Package and Task leaders and participants, and recommendations for the next steps.

T3.7 – Course delivery guide:

In collaboration with Work Package 2, a dynamic electronic PDF guide will be created and regularly updated to provide essential information for cancer centres to complete the training programme.

T3.8 – Adaptation and delivery of inter-specialty cancer training programme for Ukraine:

This task involves adapting the curriculum for the Ukrainian context, promoting the programme, engaging listeners, and receiving feedback for continual improvement.

The project's commitment to delivering quality training and addressing regional needs is evident in the structured approach outlined in these objectives and tasks.

D3.1 – Adaption of inter-specialty cancer training programme for Ukraine (online and for displaced healthcare professionals)

D3.2 – Delivery of inter-specialty cancer training programme for Ukraine (online and for displaced healthcare professionals)

D3.3 – Report on programme delivery
