BeWell

BioMed Alliance is a partner in the Erasmus+ funded project BeWell, the Blueprint alliance for a future health workforce strategy on digital and green skills.
The project brought together a wide range of European health associations and organisations including healthcare professional organisations, universities, industry and others.

It aimed to develop a green and digital skills strategy between 2022 and 2026 and more information on its activities is available here.

BeWell aimed to help transform the healthcare sector in the EU and improve sustainability by:

  • Developing skills intelligence on the digital and green skills needs of the health workforce
  • Establishing the first Blueprint Alliance for the health ecosystem to create a skills strategy to be implemented at a local, regional, national, and ultimately European level though the Pact for Skills
  • Launching a large-scale skills partnership under the Pact for Skills initiative.
  • Developing and implementing a pilot training programme on digital and green skills in the healthcare sector and for emerging occupational profiles.

Achievements of the BeWell project
