Ismay de Beijer is a PhD-student with a background in Pedagogical- and Behavioral Sciences. Her PhD-project focuses specifically on uncovering barriers and facilitators related to the implementation of the SurPass v2.0. To ensure that all stakeholders are heard and to further explore the contextual factors, Ismay coordinates the organization of Open Space meetings in the six participating European centers. In these Open Space meetings, the participants (e.g. survivors and healthcare professionals) are encouraged to determine for themselves what the discussion will be about and to take responsibility for guiding the sessions. Furthermore, Ismay works on developing guidelines for the delivery of survivorship care for childhood cancer survivors less than five years from the end of treatment
