Health Innovation, implementation and Impact (HI3) project,  with 8 countries in the consortium had the first kickoff meeting in Kristianstad in November 2018 at Kristianstad University. The aim of this project is to develop a training package for health care professionals – clinical and managerial positions – who currently have limited or no training in how to implement and monitor change in their health care setting. As indicated, this issue is a European wide problem. By utilizing a transnational project approach, a functional training material that take account of European social and cultural diversity in various hospital settings will be generated and consequently the developed training material will be more easily adopted and utilised across Europe. Partners come from Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Slovenia and Romania. The consortium includes a combination of “players” in Research, Health Care, NGO and VET, bringing into the project a variety of necessary high-level complementary skills.
