This project aims to improve the employment opportunities for blind women, by promoting a new occupation in the field of health care. This occupation, called "Clinical Breast Examiner" (CBE) was successfully developed and implemented in Germany under the brand name "discovering hands".
This new occupation makes use of the sophisticated tactile perception of blind women to detect breast cancer in executing a standardised method of palpation diagnostic. This occupation and its course is exclusively designed for blind women and the national regulations, prerequisites and requirements for the vocational training (VET) and occupation in the German health care system.
The applied partnership project is required to evaluate and initialize the important preliminary administrative measures for implementing a new course in the partner countries.
