Fieldlabs, neighbourhood healthcare in the 21st century

Projects Projects past

This project aims at innovation in health care through strengthening the education of nurses. Fieldlabs creates learning spaces in the neighbourhood to facilitate interaction between clients, patients, professionals and students.

There are three locations:

  • Fieldlab Amsterdam – Hof van Sloten
