The project contributed to sustainable forms of social dialogue for all professional groups in the health care sector to facilitate access to employment and decent work for Ukrainian refugees.
The overall objective of the project was to facilitate the integration of medical staff among Ukrainian refugees into the Polish health sector, and a strengthened social dialogue should contribute to this outcome. The project focused both on capacity-building of social partners to take a more active role in the development of active labour market policies (ALMP) in the health sector, but also to strengthen bipartite and tripartite dialogue at regional and national level to agree on a policy framework to facilitate employment of Ukrainian health workers. The project also had a win-win potential of both employing refugees but also fill vacancies in the health sector where understaffing is a problem.
The project promoter finalised a first projectl, which focused primarily on decent work. The secong project focused on refugees' labour rights and decent working conditions, and built further on the partnership with the Norwegian trade union Fagforbundet.

- Social dialogue and Active labour policy measures, including three consultative meetings of social partners in different Polish cities with participation of healthcare institutions and public authorities.
- Transfer of know-how and training measures for professionals and social partners, including online workshop with social partners from Norway, three online workshops for social partners on decent work, and preparation of a jointly negotiated policy framework
