GRE - Emerging Research Group in Health Education UIC Barcelona

The Emerging Research Group in Health Education UIC Barcelona is an interdisciplinary and educationally innovative research group, in which the main lines of research are:

1. Healthcare education: improving healthcare knowledge and its determining factors, on the one hand for specific population groups (population at social risk, carers and maternal-childhood and family environments) and on the other hand to educate people (mainly chronically ill and complex patients) as well as equipping future healthcare professionals to become healthcare trainers.
2. Professional Healthcare Education: research related to innovative learning methodologies which achieve professional excellence among doctors and nurses at the university from the beginning, as well as encourage professional maturity. The field of research covers clinical professional and cross-disciplinary competences, placing an emphasis on safe care praxis for patients and relational competences (teamwork, communication and emotional intelligence) self-management, prioritisation and decision-making in a care environment, including complex situations.
