Lead Partner Maastricht UMC+
This strong consortium is Lead by Maastricht Universitair Medisch Centrum (Maastricht UMC+).
Maastricht UMC+ is a collaboration between the Maastricht University Hospital and the Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Sciense of the University of Maastricht.
We distinguish ourselves nationally and internationally by focusing not only on health recovery, but also on health preservation and health promotion. Our core tasks - in addition to top referral and top clinical patient care - are scientific research, education and training, and valorisation. Maastricht UMC+ also provides basic care for the city and its environment. As such, we are ideally equipped, in cooperation with network partners, to provide care from zero to the third line, thus providing the right care in the right place. But also to investigate the effects of new care models.
The Project coordinator is Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca
