Academic network for research in elderly care The studies in this thesis took place in the University Network for the Care Sector South Holland (UNC-ZH). In this network, the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) collaborates structurally with 12 elderly care organizations in South Holland (Marente, Pieter van Foreest, Florence, Topaz, Argos Zorggroep, Saffier, Laurens, Zonnehuisgroep Vlaardingen, Woonzorgcentra Haaglanden, Aafje, ActiVite, Haagse Wijk- en Woonzorg). Caregivers, policy makers, researchers, students, residents and relatives work together to improve the quality of care and quality of life for vulnerable older people. The UNC-ZH is a regional platform, inspirator and learning network for innovation in long-term care. Research, education and training, and practice are closely related.
