INTER-ACTION. The Centre for Person-centred Care GPCC is now starting up new research projects and new collaborations. The projects will strengthen the GPCC’s research program for the new six-year period, which corresponds to the transition to person-centred care that is ongoing nationally and internationally.
The Centre for person-centred care GPCC will start another six-year period as a center after the summer, which the University of Gothenburg decided on last winter. In the application that was the basis for this extension, the research program has been updated to correspond to the transition to person-centred care that is taking place in several ways, both nationally and internationally. To strengthen the research, GPCC is initiating new projects, emanating of the invitation to new projects made last winter. GPCC’s steering Committee welcomes the new Principal Investigators and their teams. Project descriptions will be posted on our web in the near future.
