IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING IN THE
HEALTH CARE WORKPLACE

Magnet4Europe was a four-and-a-half-year Horizon 2020 EU-funded project (Grant Agreement 848031) that aimed to improve mental health and wellbeing among health professionals in Europe. The project officially started in January 2020 and concluded in June 2024, taking place in six European countries.

What did Magnet4Europe achieve?

Realizing Magnet® in Europe requires adaptation to the local context. While the principles of leadership, staff development, and quality improvement through data are broadly applicable, adjustments to fit the European healthcare systems are necessary. Participating hospitals are still in the process of implementing these changes.

The Magnet® model can be successfully adapted to European hospitals. Significant strides have been made in areas such as leadership behavior, staff development and using data to drive quality improvements. Hospitals involved in the project are seeing early signs of positive change.

Magnet4Europe has also developed a hospital network with open exchange and support through national and international learning collaboratives and other events, as well as collaboration with experienced Magnet® hospitals from the US. This network will remain in place after the end of the project and welcomes other hospitals to collaborate.

The path to the Magnet® status takes time. It requires commitment and courage to change the management culture towards a more dynamic, self-determined and constantly evolving organization. However, a long-term strategy is needed to counter the shortage of skilled workers.
