Education Program for Carers in Facilities with Neuro Disabled Subjects EPoCFiNDS

The prevalence of chronic illness and the disabilities they cause are strongly associated with age. According tothe United Nations, in most countries around the world, 8-10% of the population has some form of disability.Carers are helping subjects who have severe or profound core activity limitations in the community and hospicefacilities. The skills acquired by carers in their caring role are relevant to the competencies required for occupationsand qualifications in community, aged care, health, youth, housing and disability support services. With the agingpopulation the number of subjects with neurological lesions living in hospices and long-term care facilities isincreased. It makes a strong case to educate carers to help these subjects. There is a lack of evidence on howto design and implement mechanisms such as foundation skills courses and programs to best meet the needsof carers. The goal of Education Program for Carers in Facilities with Neuro Disabled Subjects (EPoCFiNDS), isto create training programs for carers in neurodisabled subjects living in various facilities. In Europe we need todevelop educational programs, aimed at volunteers, relatives or any other group of people so that they betterorganize benefits care for neurodisabled subjects
