The objective is therefore to cooperate and to promote co-learning thereby increasing the expertise of all healthcare providers and improves the quality of care for the patient. A mixed methodology (qualitative: interviews, and quantitative: effect measurement via randomized trial) is used to evaluate the haallbaarheid and the effect of the training.
