A Systemic Design approach to education and training on Sustainable Healthcare

<< Objectives >>Fostering environmental sustainability in health systems is compelling. DesHealth aims to answer the educational gap on Sustainable Healthcare through a cross-sectoral cooperation partnership of both HEIs, industries and health professionals. The project enhances the experiences of the partners on the topics of healthcare, product design, management and systemic design to promote the development of EU Sustainable Healthcare Systems both at the level of the educational and professional sectors.<< Implementation >>The project increases the quality of partners’ education activities by implementing a online training programme and a intensive training course focused on Designing and Managing Sustainable Healthcare. Partners focus on deepening and harmonising different knowledge to build a common background and translate it into an educational model that combines theoretical and individual study with a learning by doing phase on real-world issues to provide green skills through a Systemic Design methodology.<< Results >>Validated Open Access Online Training, which includes videos and interactive activities are released as the first virtuous example of training for Sustainable Healthcare. Moreover, a stand-alone publication titled “Education for Sustainable Healthcare. Designing and managing the sustainability of health systems” (tentative title) is produced to provide cutting-edge knowledge and practical educational topics on Sustainable Healthcare for a wide audience.
