TSJCI Awarded INTERACT‑EUROPE 100 Silver Badge
Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute (TSJCI) is delighted to announce that, as part of its ongoing participation in the INTERACT‑EUROPE 100 programme, the centre has been awarded a Silver Badge. This recognition reflects TSJCI’s continued commitment to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and excellence in cancer care and education. Silver Badge status is awarded to centres that have a minimum of four certified participants, including at least two approved Trainers.
INTERACT-EUROPE 100 is a 36-month programme co-funded by the European Union under the EU4Health Programme as part of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Its aim is to emphasise the importance of multidisciplinary care and teamwork in improving outcomes for cancer patients. A consortium of 38 partner organisations across 15 European countries participates in the programme. The training framework is structured around five courses based on the CanMEDS framework: Clinical Expertise, Communication and Collaboration, Professional Practice and Scholarship, Leadership, and Health Advocacy and Survivorship. Participants receive an EQF Level 7 certificate on completion.
At TSJCI, eight participants from across various disciplines, including physiotherapy, radiation oncology, and medical oncology, have been involved in the programme. A huge thank you to our four trainers - Professor Michael Eamon Kelly, Dr Gráinne Sheill, Professor Michelle Leech, and Professor Deirdre Connolly - for their dedication and leadership in supporting this important initiative. This achievement is a strong endorsement of TSJCI’s strategic focus on multidisciplinary education and collaboration, reinforcing our mission to deliver high‑quality, patient‑centred cancer care now and into the future.
