About INTERACT-EUROPE 100
SIOPE keeps on working hard on its task for INTERACT-EUROPE 100 project: “Development of add-on module: Review and adaptation of the inter-specialty cancer training program for pediatric oncology”.
In order to accomplish this task, which is due by November 2024, SIOPE has benefited in recent months from the valuable contribution of some of its working groups as well as some members of its network, as experts in the field of paediatric oncology.
Cancer patients in Europe are treated by a wide range of different specialties and professions: medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, cancer nurses and many others. Teamwork is essential. However, high-functioning teamwork requires a clear understanding of each other's roles and competencies. INTERACT-EUROPE 100 is an ambitious project that aims to provide cancer care professionals with the necessary training to improve this collaboration in at least 100 Cancer Centres across Europe.
SIOPE's expertise in the field of paediatric oncology is required at several levels in this project. For example, some SIOPE members are part of the Education Committee of INTERACT-EUROPE 100. In addition, the first meeting of the Advisory Board of INTERACT-EUROPE 100 was held on 11 September, and we are proud to announce that our SIOP Europe Board Member, Prof. Gilles Vassal, has been appointed as an Advisory Board Member of this impactful project.
SIOPE has also been committed to promoting the application of Cancer Centers across Europe to participate in this groundbreaking project to advance cancer care and health professional education.
