European University Hospitals Alliance (EUHA)

Vall d’Hebron is promoting the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) in collaboration with the most important hospitals in Europe, seeking to share innovative experiences and management models.

Project description

Vall d’Hebron is hosting the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA), made up of Europe's largest university hospitals working collaboratively to improve present and future patient outcomes.

The European University Hospital Alliance was founded in 2017, with a view to sharing experience in the areas of health, research and education. Each of the members is a leading university hospital in its country, with a capacity of more than 1,000 beds. They are national reference centres and, together, supply 100% of the existing European Reference Networks (ERNs). Moreover, all members of the Alliance have centres of excellence in research and are affiliated to a university.

The overall objective of its members is to play an active role in shaping the future of healthcare in the European Union, sharing the best practices in order to benefit patients and maximising efforts to promote high quality research.

The objectives of the European University Hospital Alliance are:

  • To improve patient outcomes.
  • To improve the opportunities and experiences of members of the Alliance in all areas.
  • To strengthen relationships with key stakeholders, such as political leaders, the European Commission, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies and funding agencies.

The ten members of the European University Hospital Alliance are:

  • Allgemeines Krankenhaus der Stadt Wien - Vienna, Austria
  • Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris - Paris, France
  • Charité - Berlin, Germany
  • Erasmus Universität Medisch Centrum - Rotterdam, Netherlands
  • Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron - Barcelona, ​​Spain
  • Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset - Stockholm, Sweden
  • King's Health Partners - London, United Kingdom
  • Ospedale San Raffaele - Milan, Italy
  • UZ Leuven - Leuven, Belgium
  • Aarhus University Hospital - Aarhus, Denmark

Among all healthcare actors, university hospitals play an important role and are one of the main drivers and catalysts of innovation.

The Alliance sets out to improve communication between university hospitals; share good practices in the areas of patient care, innovation and other fields; and discuss issues in order to strengthen European healthcare systems. The Alliance also seeks to extend opportunities so that researchers, clinical professionals and other employees have the chance to acquire experience in other European university hospitals and develop professional networks.

The European University Hospital Alliance has a view to sharing experience in the areas of health, research and education.

Transplant Center

We are the leading transplant centre in Catalonia and the second biggest centre in Spain for organ and tissue donation, one of few to provide adult and paediatric transplants. The Transplant Center project gives Vall d’Hebron a space from which to lead, integrate and optimise organ and tissue donation and transplant processes for continued improvement and professional excellence.

Project description

The Transplant Center is a shared and combined space for the coordination and strengthening of excellent practice in the area of organ donation and transplant. The prestige and potential that Vall d’Hebron has when it comes to transplants is proven, as it is the leader in transplants in Catalonia and the second biggest centre in Spain for organ and tissue donation and transplant.

The centre touches professionals, patients and the public. For the first group, the centre promotes coordinated action and collaboration. The project centres around constant improvement of clinical practice and facilitates coordination, be it between different centres and services or with different lines of research that are already researching and innovating in the field of donation and transplantation. It enables greater results orientation, while offering a space for teaching and research as instruments for continuous improvement and professional excellence.

It was conceived with the purpose of joining forces to be recognised as a leading and innovative centre for all types of transplant; a centre which helps solve patients’ problems and that stands out for the quality of its service and the excellence of its professionals. A place from which to lead, integrate and optimise organ and tissue donation and transplant processes across the whole of Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus.

It attempts to do so by maintaining guarantees of maximum quality, safety and efficiency, with the aim of achieving a high level of health protection (donor/recipient) and an improvement in patient survival and quality of life (adult and paediatrics). At the same time, achieving this through integrated and multidisciplinary clinical practice that is orientated around the patient and their family.

The project also opens an arena for talking about this situation, to normalise donations and transplants and make this a visible process. Vall d’Hebron understands and assumes the responsibility for training professionals and patients, but above all informing citizens. Although the transplant figures in Catalonia are more than double the European average, one out of every seven cases of delay in organ donations is due to there being no match in the family. The commitment to explaining the work conducted in this field, informing society about the processes of donation and transplantation, helps to guarantee the sustainability of first-line programmes such as the Vall d'Hebron programme. In the field of professional training, transplant coordination has been a leader in training initiatives for many years, including patient education projects.

With the patient in mind, the integrating effect the Transplant Center has for professionals and its impact on the treatment that patients receive and their experience during the donation and transplant processes should be publicised. 

Vall d’Hebron understands and assumes the responsibility for training professionals and patients, but above all informing citizens.
