Many thanks from here as well!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1072\">Among the topics, besides the results and plans of the project so far, the following exciting discussion topics were included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1559\">Self-determination, inclusion and equity in care. Rethinking care as a collaborative and inclusive process. With active participation in care decisions, fair support, mutual respect and communication.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1559\">Strengthening communication and collaboration in care, building bridges between informal and formal carers. The importance of mutual understanding, clear role definition and shared decision-making.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1559\">Self-determination, communication and collaboration in care from two directions:<br \/>\n&#8211; strengthening the autonomy and participation of people in need of care,<br \/>\n&#8211; improving cooperation between informal and formal carers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1818\">It was difficult to stop the exchanges of ideas, which clearly indicates the importance of the topic.<br data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1801\" \/>So we keep going!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1924\"><strong>Follow us, get to know our website and through it this important project:<\/strong><br data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"1896\" \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/faircarecoop.com\/\">https:\/\/faircarecoop.com\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1926\" data-end=\"2086\"><strong>Join the Hungarian Advisory Group<\/strong> as a care recipient, family member or professional carer, we warmly welcome you.
