ICARE4EU
Innovating care for people with multiple chronic conditions in Europe
On March 22, 2016 the final symposium of the ICARE4EU project took place in Brussels
with approximately 80 participants from all over Europe. It was an important event to present the results for people who are interested
in the care for people with multimorbidity at local, national and EU level. Unfortunately, this event was overshadowed by terrorist attacks
elsewhere in Brussels directed at innocent people.
The circumstances in which the final ICARE4EU symposium took place have made it an event which will not easily be forgotten.
We are happy that we have been able to complete the programme as good as possible, without denying the events taking place outside.
We want to thank all participants who attended the symposium and contributed to the success of this day, in these difficult circumstances.

The ICARE4EU consortium
The ICARE4EU project wants to improve the care for people
suffering from multiple chronic conditions.
An estimated 50 million people in Europe suffer
from such conditions. The complex health care problems
of these patients and their need for continuous and
multidisciplinary care poses a great challenge to health systems
and social services. But also from a patient perspective,
improvements in for instance the organization of care and the
level of their own involvement in the care process are important.
ICARE4EU will describe and analyse innovative
approaches in multidisciplinary care for people with multiple
chronic conditions currently existing in Europe. By disseminating
knowledge about effective and innovative solutions, we hope to
contribute to an improved design, a wider applicability and more
effective implementation of patient-centred multidisciplinary care
for people with multimorbidity.
The ICARE4EU project
is financially supported by the Health Programme 2008-2013 of
the European Commission.
