Patient and Family Participation in Clinical Practice

Preparing patients and families for the recovery phase

Patients spend less time in hospitals, while care becomes more complex and staff shortages increase. The government encourages reliance on informal networks after discharge. How can patients and families be actively involved in recovery during and after hospitalisation? And what do healthcare professionals need to facilitate this? These questions are central to the Patients and Family Participation in Clinical Practice research group.
