Longer description
Living and Policy Lab host
Primary care facilities within a municipality host Living and Policy Labs, with each unit establishing its own lab tailored to local needs and contexts.
Linking Pins
A PhD holding researcher, so-called Scientific Linking Pin, is linked to the care giver via a Practice Linking Pin to combine practice with academic expertise. The structure is taken from Europe's largest living lab in elderly care, Limburg Living Lab in Ageing and Long-term Care.
Goals and focus
The initiative will contribute to increased quality of life, improved quality of care and a strengthened work environment. The focus is on building capacity regarding person-centredness, competence provision, clinical application of new technology and improved governance.
