Projects

WONCA Europe is committed to advancing primary care, family medicine, and public health through impactful projects and collaborations. On this page, you can explore the initiatives we are actively contributing to — from research partnerships to advocacy campaigns — all aimed at improving healthcare outcomes across Europe and beyond.

• PROTECT-EUROPE - aims to implement Gender-neutral HPV with high uptake levels throughout the EU. A key challenge to achieving high vaccine uptake is overcoming vaccine hesitancy, often based on safety concerns and other misconceptions about vaccinations.
• POINT - is a collaborative study involving scientists and clinicians. The project aims to identify molecular characteristics that predict the development of a wide range of chronic diseases following an acute infection. A significant focus has been on translating findings "from the lab to the patient's bedside”.
• EARLY - aims to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases, such as mental health conditions, and identify and reduce risky modifiable exposures for these conditions in youth.
• EuroHearthPath - The consortium's goal is to transform cardiovascular care pathways across the continuum of care. It aims to elucidate how care is organized and delivered, providing deeper insights and identifying best practices for integration with the support of stakeholders, and conduct 18 pathfinder studies to optimize the personalized early detection, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, and coronary disease, with a particular emphasis on prevention.
• PRAISE-U is a multi-national-led consortium with the vision that EU member states should be able to offer high-quality clinical standards to achieve timely Prostate cancer (PCa) detection in men who can benefit from early treatment.  
• SP-EU—Social Prescribing promotes and improves access to health and care services for people in vulnerable situations in Europe. SP-EU follows a mixed-methods approach: SP adaptations will be co-created with the target groups to adapt them to their specific needs and social contexts. SP-EU will transform European health care systems into equitable, community-based, people-centered, and integrated health care.
