Ines Mouchaers
Ines Mouchaers obtained her Master’s degree in Clinical Biomedical Sciences in 2018 at KU Leuven University. During her master project at the university hospital in Leuven, she conducted research on healthy ageing by means of optimized movement and nutrition involving healthy and frail older people. During this period, she developed a great interest in the care for the older population and wanted to contribute to improving this care. Driven by this interest, she started as a PhD candidate at the Living Lab of Ageing and Long Term Care within the department of Health Services Research at Maastricht University. Her project is part of the European TRANS-SENIOR program (https://www.trans-senior.eu/). The project is focusing on reducing the number of avoidable transitions from home care to hospitals and nursing homes by developing an interdisciplinary primary care approach for older care-dependent people in the Dutch community care setting, based on the principles of reablement.
