What is Project ECHO?

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an internationally-recognised collaborative model of health education and care management, designed to share knowledge, build relationships and work together to improve end of life care. 

Watch this short, introductory video to find out how the Project ECHO can support you:

How does it work?

Project ECHO isn't a one-off webinar with information flowing in just one direction. Each network involves a series of sessions with a dedicated facilitator who's specially trained to ensure a relaxed atmosphere and inclusivity throughout the sessions, alongside structured guidance and support. All participants are expected to attend the series of sessions as active members. Everyone is both a teacher and a learner.

 

All ECHO sessions are remote and free to attend. If you'd like to get in touch about our networks please email echo@mariecurie.org.uk.
