Together with our region, in the Netherlands and internationally

At LUMC, patients are guaranteed appropriate care for better health. Students come to us to receive advanced and inspiring education. Excellent research facilities are of fundamental importance to maintaining the attractiveness of LUMC for researchers. LUMC cannot achieve this alone, we rely on our collaborations with regional, national and international partners

For this reason, we are focused on strengthening collaboration between our employees in care, prevention and the social domain. Strengthening national and international collaboration within the research and education domains is one of our essential goals. This requires us to work together successfully beyond the boundaries of our own specialist fields.

We choose

In concrete terms

We maintain an external outlook, and go a step beyond the boundaries of our own specialist fi elds in order to offer space to our partners. We always adopt an open, welcoming and reliable position to fulfil our ambitions in the field of collaboration. We convey our goal to strengthen connections. Successful collaboration depends on personal contacts and following agreements. Our employees are our calling card in respect to our external partners. From an internal perspective, those same employees are ambassadors for achieving outward-focused collaboration.

Highlight

A unique example of a collaboration in our region is the Breast Cancer Centre with the Alrijne Hospital. We work together to optimise the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment in the shared service area for LUMC and Alrijne Hospital.

By working together, we offer accessible care and improved service to an ever growing group of patients. By combining knowledge and expertise, as well as offering excellent care, the hospitals also focus on scientific research, training and innovation.
