AIDIR Ciutat Vella

Outreach Leaflet
 
The Nursing Care Teaching and Research Unit (AIDIR) was created by the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya in partnership with Fundación La Esperanza, Fundación Roure, Obra Social “la Caixa” and other associations in the Ciutat Vella district. 
 
It is focused on health education activities for people at risk of social exclusion with unfavourable health conditions and their relatives, and it is open to the whole community. The students offer their knowledge and skills to the people/families (community) and this allows for learning in a reciprocal environment.
 
Unit launched in September 2016.

Specific objectives of the Unit

  1. To help improve the social reintegration of the most disadvantaged people/families at risk of social exclusion by creating active learning opportunities in terms of physical-emotional health, cohabitation and work health. 

Mission

To provide services to people with unfavourable health conditions in the form of health education, with a view to making the population, family members and people in the Ciutat Vella district more self-reliant and heighten their ability to care for themselves.

Vision

The Unit seeks to foster a sense of social commitment among nursing students and train them in the new roles of nurses in teaching and research by developing new projects that generate knowledge.

Values

People and family as the centre of the healthcare system. Nursing professionals as the centre of our mission. Nurses as care leaders.
