‘Collaboration between nurses and doctors in paediatric oncology’

The project aimed to improve collaborative working between nurses and doctors in the care and management of children with cancer by establishing a programme to explore organizational development and change.

The project objectives included the following:

  • To describe the level of integration between doctors and nurses in several areas of care;
  • To improve the integration in specific areas of care;
  • To promote the exchange and enrichment of theoretical and technical knowledge between professionals (doctors and nurses) in the same working environment.

This project is now complete. The resources developed can be found at
http://www.siope.eu/SIOPE-EU/English/Education/Courses-Training/page.aspx/204

The web resources were created for nurses, doctors and other professions in health care.

They aim to:

  • Help professionals to explore their current practices and illuminate the challenges of collaborative working;
  • Introduce readers to a programme of work aimed to facilitate collaborative working;
  • Introduce Appreciative Inquiry as a tool to enhance collaborative working;
  • To help promote the exchange of knowledge between professionals (doctors and nurses) in the same working environment and enrich their working together wherever in the world they work.

This project was supported by an educational grant provided by ECCO.
