Treviso Health & Social Care Innovation Ecosystem

Wednesday 27th October 2021 from 1 pm to 2 pm ISRAA and ECHAlliance will present an event of the “Treviso Health & Social Care Innovation Ecosystem“

Aggressive behaviour in older people is a complex but highly relevant phenomenon in the field of long-term care. The Pragress project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aims to support professional caregivers, such as nurses, social workers, nursing assistants and other professionals involved in the prevention and management of aggressive behaviour both at home and in the community. A panel of Italian and European experts, including some partners of the Pragress Project, will highlight the challenges of aggressive behaviour of older people.
