TRANSiTION Project

Project description

Empowering the Cancer Workforce with New Digital Skills

The TRANSiTION project developed an advanced education programme for healthcare professionals and non-clinical staff (i.e. health managers), equipping them with digital skills needed to exchange information more efficiently and effectively with patients and other professionals. The project begun by assessing and mapping the current digital skills and engaged directly with stakeholders to identify their specific needs. This enabled and facilitated professionals and non-clinical staff to adopt new digital tools and integrate them into their everyday practices enabling a smoother digital transition.

Led by the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), the project collaborates with various organisations and uses a problem-solving, teamwork approach to enhance competencies. TRANSiTION has a consortium of 25 partners from 14 member states with expertise in professional development and training programmes in the healthcare sector.
