Twinning and Hosting Application

Visit the Twinning & Hosting main page here

Note: This information will be valid for one year. Listing requires at least one staff member to be an IAHPC member.

Through TWINNING hospice/palliative care units can establish communication with another unit elsewhere in the world, to exchange information, reports, teaching materials and modules, research ideas, etc. which may lead to exchange visits by staff members.

Through HOSTING hospice/palliative care units can accept a colleague for training (from medicine, nursing, social work, education, pastoral care, etc) for a specified time period. In the case of Hosting units for visiting fellows, traveling arrangements are to be made between the individual and the units involved, and not by IAHPC.

Please ensure (where applicable) that approval for this application has been sought and granted by senior management.

This form has been prepared for use internationally and some terms may be unfamiliar to you. If in doubt, contact the IAHPC Executive Director here.

Completing this form constitutes an offer but it is not binding on either the applicant or the IAHPC.
