Health and social care systems across the EU are undergoing significant transformation due to migration, demographic ageing, workforce shortages and technological change. In this context, patients require professionals who combine clinical and social care expertise with professional autonomy and clear leadership capacity. The Include Care project, co-funded through the Erasmus+ program of the European Union, seeks to improve the capacity of higher education institutions in health and social care education to strengthen leadership capacity of super-diverse teams.
The Include Care project is led by Emina Hadziabdic at Högskolan Kristianstad and implemented by a five partner consortium from Portugal, Italy, Begium, Austria and Sweden. It develops and pilots training materials and an MOOC course for bachelor and master students and professionals to support the development of competencies in inclusive, person-centred leadership. Additionally, the project develops practice-informed policy recommendation to strengthen training for inclusive and person-centred leadership.
