From December 2 to December 6, 2024, the EU co-funded PalcNet project stepped forward with a success of completing the second “Train-the-trainer” (TtT2) programme at Guangzhou Health Science College (GHSC). The PalcNet project is led by Jamk University of Applied Sciences, Finland, in collaboration with other six partner institutions from the Netherlands, Spain and China. The project aims to enhance the competence of educators, professionals, and students to advance palliative care education and training in China, ultimately improving the quality of life for its citizens.
The TtT2 featured lectures and workshops by leading experts consisting of Professor Míriam Rodríguez Monforte from Ramon Llull University, Spain, Senior Lecturer Judith Yabal from Jamk University of Applied Sciences, and experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, China, including Directors Guo Na and well-known experts Ning Xiaohong, Zheng Ying, Liu Qian, and Sha Rui in the field of palliative care. During the programme week, trainers’ academic expertise, clinical experience, and forward-looking perspectives provided participants with insights into the latest practices and concepts in palliative care. Through diverse activities such as group works and case studies, participants expanded their knowledge and honed professional skills and empathy.
