About the conference
European cooperation is crucial for providing the highest possible quality of healthcare for the ~740 million citizens on the continent. Innovations in European healthcare also have a vital impact on global health.
Many international organizations and institutes participate in European projects and initiatives on research, clinical care and health policy to achieve health goals that would be unattainable when operating solely within one’s own country.
There are also funding, ethical and political challenges to effective European cooperation on healthcare, including an impending possible Brexit.
This workshop on European Cooperation on Healthcare aims to provide a forum for discussing best practice across these key healthcare domains.
The workshop is being hosted by the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM) in partnership with its Elsevier-published journal Health Policy and Technology and the Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management (ESHPM).
