The overall objective is to convene a series of high-level political dialogues to codify the role of all EU member states in combatting health workforce shortages resulting from mass migration of health professionals from newer member States of Central and Eastern Europe to those in Western Europe.
Overview
The capacity of health systems to deliver health services and meet the changing demands of care strongly depends on the availability of a workforce with the right skills and flexibility. Health systems that support high levels of initial education and training, as well as consistent investment in continuous professional development, are better equipped to develop innovative and integrated solutions to respond to the major challenges that the EU is facing.
