WONCA Europe Conference will be held 26 to 29 Jun 2019 in bratislava, Slovakia. WONCA Europe Conference is the leading conference in the field of family doctors. The five Nordic countries - Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark - welcome you to the WONCA Europe Conference in Copenhagen. The conference will offer you memorable significant key-notes, numerous workshops and symposiums, oral presentations and posters and it highlights issues of major importance to international primary care and draws on the best scientific knowledge. Your participation will benefit your patients and make you an active part of the ongoing development of the health care system. In your spare time you can explore Copenhagen - in the summer even more beautiful, full of light and energy. Be prepared for very late sunset and early sunrise. WONCA Europe Conference is an event and I like events...
Posters, one-slide presentations, oral presentations and symposiums/workshops form together with the keynote presentations the basis for the scientific program. These sessions are of 60 or 75 minutes.
Family Doctors with Heads and Hearts
GPs always work in the border-land between medical science and humanity. The doctors must keep their balance and work with heads and hearts.
Europe's population has changed and will change and what does that mean? Are there variations across countries? What about the family structure, income, education? Will there be more diseases or does human live longer and better?
The health care system will change dramatically towards more specialised care, higher costs, more fragmented care etc. How will general practice fit into this? What can family medicine do to preserve and develop its core functions and values?
How will general practice develop, what will the content and task be and how will doctors be able to put science, knowledge into that. How will general practice be able to address future developments and expected tasks?
The doctors get more and more focused on their ability to identify physiological changes and risks early, to use technology, and to put together many specialities around the table discussing the patient (who is not there). What about family medicine? How should diagnosing develop there?
The conference focuses on the possible risk of increasing inequality in health and access to health care in Europe. Both social, mental and age based inequality. There is inequality based on social differences, among specific disease groups like mental diseases and for children and elderly people.
