Project Details
Description
As European people age they are at an increased risk to suffer from one or more chronic conditions, functional decline, and frailty.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) skills are needed for nurses to support older people to live more active lives. Successful
CGA improves the quality of life of older people, delays the progression of frailty, reduces hospital admissions and the length of hospital
stays. By developing a new nursing education programme for CGA, the BigPicture project will advance the upskilling of professional
nurses, and the validation of their prior knowledge. The project boosts innovation capacity in gerontological nursing through collaboration
and flow of knowledge among vocational education and training providers, universities, and labour market actors.
