National calendar

Parents and caregivers will soon be able to share their experiences with the renewed Individual Care Plan

From November 2022, a new research phase will start in which IZP 2.0 will be evaluated.


Within the IZP project, research is being done into how the Individual Care Plan (IZP) can be further developed and used more often in child palliative care. In the autumn of 2021, parents and care providers were asked about their experiences with the IZP. The IZP has been adjusted on the basis of these experiences. In recent months, this updated version (IZP 2.0) has been tested in practice.

New phase of research is coming
From November 2022, a new research phase will start in which IZP 2.0 will be evaluated. In this phase, parents and caregivers can share their experiences with IZP 2.0 with the researchers by means of interviews and questionnaires.

Who can participate in the study?

  • Child and Family
    Has your child received an ICP from April 2022? Then there is a good chance that this concerns IZP 2.0. You can then participate in the study. Not sure which version of the IZP your child has received? Please contact your child's primary care provider.
    It is possible that the healthcare provider involved will contact you about participation in the study.
  • Healthcare providers
    Do you work as a healthcare provider with IZP 2.0? Then you can participate in the research. All care providers from the 1st , 2nd and 3rd line can register.

What do the researchers do with your input?
In the final phase of the study, in the spring of 2023, IZP 2.0 will be adapted to the final version: IZP 3.0, based on the interviews and questionnaires. This will then be used nationally. Your experiences and input are indispensable for us to improve the IZP. By participating in the research, you can really make a difference.
