Objective
The ERIS project will address the critical need for standardised, high-quality training in cardiac electrophysiology (EP) across Europe. The project will tackle the fragmented and inconsistent training landscape that limits healthcare professionals' ability to adopt new technologies efficiently, particularly in underserved regions. With the growing prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias, due to an ageing population, it is vital that electrophysiologists receive thorough and cohesive training.
The ERIS project proposes to create a collaborative, Europe-wide educational hub involving academia, university hospitals, scientific societies, and industry partners. By integrating theory, simulation, and practical training, this initiative ensures that healthcare professionals are well-equipped to provide innovative interventional treatments for cardiac conditions.
One of the main challenges is the reliance on industry-led training courses, which, while beneficial, often lack full academic commitment, integration of the three training steps, and accessibility across different regions. Additionally, these courses can also present conflicts of interest. The ERIS project seeks to overcome these barriers by developing academic-driven training programmes that offer certification and ensure the quality, consistency, and independence of the education provided.
This novel training platform will be designed with long-term sustainability in mind, creating a network of facilities across Europe. The first phase will focus on EP training, and the model will be expanded to cover other medical specialties in the future. Through this initiative, ERIS aims to reduce healthcare disparities, improve patient outcomes, and ensure that healthcare professionals are continuously trained in the latest innovations in order to provide these advancements to the EU patients.
