This initiative aims to enhance student learning experiences and strengthen collaboration with clinical departments. 🌟 Benefits: - Guaranteed placement for at least one M2 student per period (except June). - Students choose based on preferences, with visibility of premium status departments. - M3 students continue to select their placements. We're proud of the first 16 departments of diverse hospitals in the Netherlands recognised with premium status and look forward to continued success!

Desondanks is onderzoek hiernaar schaars en vindt bestaande kennis over vrouwspecifieke aandoeningen en behandelmethodes nog onvoldoende zijn weg naar de praktijk.   Om hieraan tegemoet te komen, organiseerde het TechMed Centre - University of Twente samen met de Gemeente Enschede en Fyon - Fysiotherapie Oost Nederland, Glanerbrug op 21 juni 2024 een speciale avond over de overgang en de bekkenbodem.   👩⚕️ Het doel: vrouwen te informeren over vrouwspecifieke gezondheid en bijdragen aan verbeterde preventie, (zelf)zorg en kwaliteit van leven. Ook vergroot zo de deelname van vrouwen bij wetenschappelijk onderzoek.   Met praktische tips en een overzicht van bestaande behandelmethodes werden bezoekers direct geholpen met gezondheidsvragen. Om ervoor te zorgen dat onderzoek en technologie gericht op diagnostiek en behandeling van vrouwengezondheid de gewenste impact heeft, is het essentieel om de vrouwen om wie het gaat hier van begin tot eind bij te betrekken.   Een verslag van de avond en meer informatie: Lokale samenwerking om gezondheidsverschillen te verkleinen: 'Succesvolle informatieavond 'Ladies Night Overgang & Bekkenbodem' (utwente.nl) 👇 #Vrouwengezondheid #Overgang #Bekkenbodem #Gezondheidsverschillen   Anique Bellos-Grob | Manon Kerkhof | Linda ter Woerds | Monique van de Straat | Monique Kenkhuis   TechMed Centre - University of Twente | University of Twente | Gemeente Enschede | Fyon - Fysiotherapie Oost Nederland (Glanerbrug)

She has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for her groundbreaking project, DECODE. Her research aims to unravel the mystery of how weak electric fields in deep brain stimulation (DBS) influence treatment outcomes. This could revolutionise therapies for conditions like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, leading to more effective treatments with fewer side effects. By leveraging computational modelling and clinical data, Schwab and her team are paving the way for a deeper understanding of DBS. Collaborating with experts at the TechMed Centre - University of Twente and Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf they are on a quest to decode the intricacies of neural activity influenced by these subtle electric fields. Stay tuned for more updates on this innovative research!

Vanavond bij TechMed Centre - University of Twente Ladies Night: een gezellige avond over de overgang en bekkenbodem. Een super relevant thema, dat meer aandacht verdient. Want net als andere vrouwenthema's als miskramen, zwangerschapsklachten, postnatale klachten stoppen we dit nog te veel weg. Ontzettend bedankt voor de goede organisatie, door TechMed collega's Nikki van de Veerdonk, Anique Bellos-Grob en Joey Pals, Gemeente Enschede en Fyon - Fysiotherapie Oost Nederland. | #gezondheidsverschillen | #genderverschillen | #taboedoorbrekend |

💡𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗰𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁: 𝗔 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲 From June 10th to 12th, the 5th Partner Meeting of the EUVECA project took place in Enschede, and we were very pleased to welcome all project partners together with the Twente Hub. During this meeting, we made significant progress in further developing all regional hubs. Additionally, we discovered interesting insights into developing educational opportunities focused on 21st-century skills for healthcare professionals. Starting in September, the first learning activities will be available online on the Euveca Platform, so if you are a healthcare professional (in training), we are looking for you to test these activities! Besides the substantive sessions, there was also time for a relaxing yoga session 🧘♀️ and truly Dutch activities, such as cycling in the rain. 🚴♂️🌧️ We also had the pleasure of giving our project partners a tour of our TechMed Centre and showcasing our advanced simulation centre. We look forward to continuing to work on this project and further developing the Twente Hub with our partners: Hogeschool Saxion, ZGT, and Oost NL. #EuvecaProject #21stCenturySkills #HealthcareInnovation | TechMed Centre - University of Twente | University of Twente
