European Forum for Primary Care
Strong primary care (PC) produces better health outcomesagainst lower costs. That is the briefest summary of available scientific evidence. By promoting strong PC the population’s health can be improved. Everywhere in Europe the process of strengthening PC is ongoing. There is a strong need to collect and share information about what structures and strategies matter.
The multidisciplinary Forum connects three groups of interested parties: health care providers, health policy makers and the producers and evaluators of health care information.
They work at three levels: the local or district level, the national level and the supra-national level.
By linking practice, policy and research the Forum intends to stimulate policy making based on vision and evidence as much as it intends to support PC practice oriented towards quality and equity. Close collaboration with patient organisations ensures that the patient perspective remains central to the Forum’s approaches.
The Forum can assist you in strengthening Primary Care in your own country. The membership of the Forum is open to all organizations, institutions and individuals in Europe that support the aims of the Forum.
