About the Organization

Zorgnet-Icuro vzw is the umbrella organisation of the Flemish general hospitals, initiatives in mental healthcare and social profit facilities in geriatric care. More than 775 recognised care organisations are members of Zorgnet-Icuro, together employing almost 140,000 staff. Our care facilities want to offer high-quality, affordable and accessible care.

Zorgnet-Icuro is a network that plays an active role in exchanging knowledge, ideas and good practices in healthcare. We develop visions about the way we want to organise our healthcare and about how we can offer high-quality, accessible and affordable care to the population in a sustainable way in the future.

As a recognised employers’ federation, we give a voice to the many social entrepreneurs in healthcare and are an important discussion partner for the Flemish and federal governments. Zorgnet-Icuro represents its member services in the social dialogue, both at the Flemish and at the federal level.

Work Package Overview​

As an Associate Partner, Sorgnet-Icuro (EMA) oversees quality assurance to ensure that the interventions developed in WP2 and WP3 comply with EU directives, policies, and best practices in midwifery workforce development.

The members of the Practice Advisory Committee will take up this role because there is a perfect fit with their purpose which is “to enhance clinical practice, develop practice guidelines, and address clinical challenges in midwifery, while also promoting leadership development among midwives”.

Zorgnet-Icuro is one of the Advisory Board members, which meets twice per year—fully online to reduce travel and costs. All consortium partners are invited. Before each meeting, WP-leads submit a brief internal progress report. The coordinator compiles these reports and presents conclusions to the Advisory Board, which may recommend corrective actions if needed. These 6‑monthly reports cover both project progress and budget use, ensuring transparency and effective implementation.
