Several partners from CET attended and presented at the European Congress in Utrecht in June. Over 700 delegates from around the world participated in the congress, themed Future perspectives in research & therapy. Professionals attending this congress benefited from high-level scientific presentations, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities, with the overall goal of promoting understanding and treatment of clefts and other craniofacial anomalies
There were dedicated sessions on psychology and opportunities to present the CET project in front of a large audience – indeed the auditorium was overflowing at one point. CET coordinator Martin Person led a session Long term outcomes in cleft care – a European approach, focusing on how we can be sure we are inclusive in terms of providing care to a European population that is not always easy to reach given socio-economic and educational constraints.
Other CET partners spoke on different aspects of cleft care in Europe, including the new directory of resource (European Cleft Gateway) and parents’ experiences of early cleft care which illustrate the need for a much more patient/parent-centred approach to care.
Above all the Congress provided excellent networking opportunities in Europe and beyond with opportunities explores for future collaboration in terms of research, education and sharing best clinical practice.
Triskelion’s partner Kristianstad University just confirmed that we had our application “Body Confident mums” (Erasmus+ KA2) approved by the Swedish national agency. The project will start in late summer of 2019.
The project is based on the work of the Australian team led by Dr

Correct-IT staff training Stavanger
The short time blended learning course of the Correct-IT project was held in Stavanger between 27th. and 31st May 2019. Over 20 participants from Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Lithuania were participating in the training. Triskelion was the host and facilitated the training, which also included a practical part where participants were hiking to the Pulpit Rock. Lectures, reflections, group work, and case solving were used as methods.
Tartu visit
The team of the Health Innovation- implementation and impact met in Tartu, Estonia at the University of Tartu premises. Unfortunately, the SAS had a strike which prevented some of the partners, including Triskelion, from participating.
The third meeting took place in Bucharest 11 – 12 October 2018. At this meeting, the developed curriculum was presented to the partners by Triskelion and HKR. The training followed the concept of “train the trainer” which induced the developed modules together with clinical case studies. Fruitfull discussion about the curriculum took place, and that resulted in some minor adjustments to the material. Overall, everyone agreed that the material is excellent and plans for the pilot implementation was decided.
