The health workforce is a key concern for policy makers, striving to maintain the capacity and improve the performance of their health systems.
They are in firefighting mode with shortages and medical deserts having an increasing impact on access to and quality of services. A policy focus on “keeping up the numbers”, however, is not good enough (and may be unrealistic).
Countries are therefore looking to new models of care and at harnessing medical and technological innovations to transform their health systems so that they can respond better to the demographic, social and environmental realities of Europe.
Applications are welcome from all 53 WHO European Region Member States and the programme will be tailored, as far as is possible, to the backgrounds of participants. If places allow participants from outside the region will be considered.
The Summer School is organized by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the Veneto Region of Italy, the European Commission and World Health Organization (WHO) and applies to the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
