It is a great honour to share with you our very first article that describes the EU NAVIGATE project as a whole and explains our expected outcomes and impacts to advance practice, science and society in relation to navigation interventions for older people with #cancer and their family caregivers.
EU NAVIGATE is a 5-year EU-funded project that aims to adapt, implement,?and evaluate?a navigation intervention?using?an international pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT)?in Belgium, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal. Embedded?in its core are?mixed-method process evaluation, cost-effectiveness analyses and pre-defined subgroup analyses focused on factors that are known to affect healthcare access and inequalities (2022-2027).?Through this project, we hope?to deliver high-quality evidence on a navigation intervention for older people with cancer in Europe and to develop practice and policy recommendations for sustainable implementation of navigation interventions in Europe and beyond.
The coordination and implementation of such a large-scale cross-country project and research is not without hiccups. If you want to learn more on what we are doing and how we are managing the challenges in implementing the project and the international pragmatic randomised RCT, please follow us here or our website?www.eunavigate.com, or you may subscribe to our newsletter.
