UEHP in the THCS Advisory Board

UEHP Secretary General, Ms Ilaria Giannico, was appointed member of the Advisory Board of the “Transforming health and care systems” (THCS ) partnership.

The first meeting of THCS’ Advisory Board took place in Brussels last 10-11 April: two insightful days of meetings and discussion with colleagues from all over Europe committed to transforming healthcare systems through Research & Innovation.

The THCS’s Advisory Board includes experts and stakeholders representatives that cover the entire spectrum of health and care systems. Its goal is to ensure that the Partnership maintains a strong international dimension and is linked with key policies and networks at EU and international level, giving its takes on strategic orientations and on possible synergies.

Specifically, the Advisory Board provides advice on and contribute to:

the Science to Policy Dialogue

the translation of research results into innovative solutions and implementing actions

the identification of synergies & collaborations with key EU and international initiatives

ensuring an adequate monitoring and evaluation of the Partnership performance by providing insight on selected key strategic deliverables

Thanks for this opportunity and for your trust! We look forward to working with all colleagues in the partnership, bringing the private hospitals’ perspective to the partnership.

Background

The THCS partnership is a cofound action under the Horizon Europe programme aiming at supporting the transformation of health and care systems with innovative solutions driven by knowledge and evidence. THCS core activity is the fund of research and innovation projects through joint transnational calls involving a large number of Research and Innovation Funding Organisations on common priorities and topics.  The general objective of THCS is to contribute to the transition towards more sustainable, efficient, resilient, inclusive, innovative and high-quality people-centred health and care systems equally accessible to all people.

The approach for a successful and smooth implementation of THCS will focus on three main work streams:

  1. Filling the knowledge gaps with research actions aiming at providing the necessary evidence,
  2. Implementation and transfer aiming at supporting actions focusing on the testing of existing solutions and adaptability in different national and regional contexts, and
  3. Boosting health and care systems through dedicated activities (capacity building and trainings, study visits, technical assistance, twinning, networking) involving different health and care stakeholders.
