TALK

Project Title:
International impact of TALK©: a simple and practical approach to multi-professional structured feedback and debriefing, to be used after unplanned learning events in clinical environments.
Acronym:
TALK
Call:
H2020 – Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (Research & innovation Staff Exchange)
Start Date:
01/06/2017
Duration:
36 months
Grant Amount:
€274,500

The TALK project aims to guide multi-professional clinical teams learning and improving quality of patient care and patient safety together.
The project has contributed to parallel implementation processes in specified units across the 3 participating countries and included research to better understand the benefits of structured debriefing and organisational culture.
Finally, using the data generated from the research study, the tool has been implemented across all participating partners and its impact is going to be assessed.

IMSPEX

Project Title:
A rapid, non-invasive, cost-effective, analytical device for bacterial or viral infection diagnosis through ultra-high sensitivity breath analysis.
Acronym:
BreathSpec

The BreathSpec project aims to develop a rapid, non-invasive device that can diagnose bacterial or viral infections through ultra-high sensitivity breath analysis.
Once developed the BreathSpec device will help reduce the development of anti-bacterial resistance and alleviate the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through improved diagnosis of antibiotic treatment.
The device will also reduce the scientific, clinical and financial challenges associated with the development of new antibiotics.

Iceni Diagnostics

Project Title:
A Carbohydrate Diagnostic for the Detection of Norovirus.

The CADDNOR project aims to develop a point of care (POC) diagnostics and carbohydrate-based therapeutics, focused on the detection of Norovirus.
The developed assay uses glyconanoparticle technology with potential for replacing molecular technologies and immunodiagnostics – a major shift in analytical approach.
The use of carbohydrates instead of antibodies as the recognition mechanism has several advantages including their production using industrial scale, cost-effective chemoenzymatic synthesis which addressed the call topic.
