Improving the Quality of Life of Children with Cancer Multidisciplinary Case Management Training Program for the care and treatment and of Pediatric Cancer in CEE countries www.case-management-projecthope.org Program Curriculum and Recommendations

Despite recent developments, the gap between Eastern and Western Europe childhood cancer survival rates and quality of care often persists. This one-year program aims to improve the quality of life of children suffering from cancer and reduce the burden of childhood cancer in four countries of CEE (CzR, Hu, Ro, Pol) via better coordination of medical and psychosocial care. Through a practice-oriented international training program for multidisciplinary teams that includes coaching and mentoring, health and social service providers will increase their knowledge and skills. A locally adapted and validated curriculum, best practice recommendations and patient information leaflets will also be produced and disseminated.
