BeWell (2022-2026): Investing in the upskilling and reskilling of the European health workforce
EuroHealthNet is also key partner in the Erasmus+ project “Blueprint alliance for a future health Workforce strategy on digital and green skills” (BeWell). The BeWell project (2022-2026) aims to build a movement of healthcare stakeholders which support and contribute to the development, implementation, and upscaling of a strategy on the upskilling and reskilling of the European health workforce. This would entail addressing the skills needed to support the digital and green transition within the health ecosystem at local, regional, national, and ultimately at the European level (through the Pact for Skills).
By addressing the existing skill mismatches and strengthening competencies, the project will enable the health workforce to be better prepared to face future challenges and adapt to ever-evolving societal contexts. To this end, the BeWell project will build comprehensive curricula and training programmes targeting all professionals of the health workforce, including health students, health professionals and professionals of emerging occupations.
EuroHealthNet’s role in BeWell
EuroHealthNet will strongly support the development of skills intelligence, which amongst others includes the identification and analysis of existing upskilling and reskilling initiatives across the EU. Through that, we will contribute to the blueprint skills strategy by focusing on the inclusion of skills for public health as well as ensuring that the strategy is underpinned by a health and social equity lens. This will also be our focus within the piloted educational and training programmes designed to upskill and reskill health professionals.
The project is being led by the European Health Management Association.
