Area of activity/subject: TRAINING
Summary of the project: In February 2016, the EU launched the European Medical Corps (EMCs) to help mobilize medical teams for emergencies inside and outside the EU. This initiative is in line with the Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) WHO roadmap to improve the quality and coordination of medical teams responding to disasters. The ongoing TEAMS project, founded by the ECHO P&P Call 2016, aims to develop an innovative operational training package focused on teamwork to assist EMCs/EMTs in preparing for deployment. This next and complementary project, named TEAMS 2.0, will aim to develop a Training of Trainers (ToT) program to train novice and inexperienced organizations’ team leaders or training managers on how to effectively use the TEAMS operational training package.
