The
European association for quality in general
practice/family medicine
The aim of the group is to stimulate
quality development in general practice. This is the youngest of the
three important European network organisations. It was established in
1991 by Professor Richard Grol in cooperation with WONCA.
The working methods are:
- to identify methods already used to improve quality of care in
general practice
- to develop scientific valid methods to fulfill the task
- contributions to debate, information exchange and education on the
concept of quality development in general practice
- stimulating network building among general practitioners and other
people in different countries, who have practical experience with or
who work scientifically with quality assurance and quality
development.
The working methods in the
organisation is:
- running two annual meetings, where two or three delegates from each
member country meet for 2-3 days to exchange information, run
workshops and write papers and reports on progress in each country.
- the delegates work closely together with national colleges and
academies for General Practice/Family Medicine, who often elect the
delegates and pay their expenses.
- to arrange conferences and workshops on quality assurance. This is
either done separately or in cooperation with the other two network
organisations or Wonca Europe.
- arranging international European summer schools on different aspects
of quality assurance.
