🌟 As we continue our series spotlighting the AI-PROGNOSIS consortium's partners, we focus today on the CHU de Toulouse 🤝 At the heart of the largest region of France, just under 6 million inhabitants and with one of the greatest annual growth rates in Europe, the Toulouse University Hospital is the region’s number one clinical referral facility. It is also the largest employer in the region, fulfilling its mission of care, prevention, education and research thanks to its nearly 4,000 doctors and 12,000 hospital staff. In the care field, it has stood out for 20 years at the top of the charts of the national press. Mainly centred around clinical and pre-clinical research, the activity of the Toulouse University Hospital is also open to technological research and innovation in treatment protocols and biomedical engineering.   In AI-PROGNOSIS, the Toulouse University Hospital coordinates the clinical studies of the project and leads the AI-PMP study.

🇨🇦 Learn about surgical care services in Indigenous communities! 🌏 In the course SURG 518: Surgical Care in Canada’s Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities with Global Comparisons students will critically examine the historical and current state of surgical care services to Indigenous communities. By drawing on Indigenous voices, participants will delve into the challenges and opportunities faced by clinicians and service delivery systems in both Canada and globally. This course is designed for students to foster a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding surgical care. The course will be instructed by four brilliant professors: Dr. Nadine Caron, Dr. Jessica Chan, Dr. Ryan Falk, and Dr. Melanie Morris. By the end of this course, students will have a greater understanding of the integration of surgical care delivery in high-income countries, learn about unique social circumstances influencing healthcare for Indigenous individuals in remote communities, and more! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gE_xzT7r 📢 Hear from Our Students: “It has stimulated thinking in a different perspective taking into consideration the inherent and indirect causes that are strongly causing poor access to surgical care in Canada and other HICs.” #GlobalSurgicalCare #SURG518

Discharge from the hospital It took some time but the publication 'Help, I May Have to Go Home...' Leaving the Hospital Not Too Early and Not Too Late: Optimising the Discharge Process is online https://lnkd.in/e8N9hwnm Discharge from a hospital is a complex matter. Just as in hotels where check-out is the last part of the guest journey, discharge from hospital is crucial for image building, among other things. Improving the hospital discharge process contributes to a better patient experience and quality of life, word of mouth, efficiency and costs for the hospital. Together with (then) hotel school student Inge van Son, Onno Guicherit, surgical oncologist, medical director of the cancer center Haaglanden Medical Center, and myself, this research was conducted and this article was created with the result: Improving hospital discharge with check-out procedures from the hotel industry. Moreover, through this research, Inge became passionate about healthcare and subsequently went on to study medicine after hotel school. I am convinced that she will become a doctor who combines the best of both worlds: hospitableness and medical care. Onno is already a shining example of this.
