Summary
The main objective of this action is to create a service in paediatric oncology clinics that will support children and their families during cancer treatment, by providing the necessary psychological and social support to infants, children, adolescents, and young adults from 0 months to 24 years old.
Detailed Call Description
The scope of this action is to address the critical need for comprehensive psychosocial care in paediatric oncology clinics across Member States and countries associated with the EU4Health Programme. The action aims to support the establishment of a unified service system and support infrastructure to deliver psychological and social support to children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing cancer treatment, as well as their families. This includes developing organizational structures, training programs, and tools tailored to the unique needs of paediatric oncology patients. Additionally, the action will conduct a thorough assessment of existing psychosocial services across Europe to identify best practices, gaps and opportunities for improvement.
The action could support the identification of the different capabilities available across Europe and build the foundation to regularly identify gaps and needs to be addressed at national and regional level across Europe. This process will be focused on quality of life and well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults, their families, siblings, and relatives, including mental, psychosocial and nutritional support, together with clinical oncology, surgery and radiology specialities, including their nursing services.
Through collaboration and knowledge sharing, the action seeks to enhance the quality of life and well-being of paediatric cancer patients and their families, ultimately contributing to the broader goals of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the EU4Health Programme.
