ACP+: gives general practitioners the information, confidence, and tools to engage in advance care planning conversations with their patients who are diagnosed with a chronic illness/frailty and their family/support network. For more information please contact Julie Stevens or Lara Craenen.
DIAdIC: a study for cancer patients and their caregiver that focuses on communication and finding the right information on a dyadic level (between patient and a caregiver: partner, child, friend,…). In this study patients with a cancer diagnosis are asked to participate with a caregiver and are randomized to a face-to-face approach, webmodules, or the control group.
