New approaches to primary care
Healthcare Professionals are developing new approaches to primary care on an interprofessional basis and in partnership with patients
Galenica is kicking off the second round of the Healthcare Professionals Initiative, which will take place on 22 November 2024.
Together, we are developing new solutions for the integrated healthcare of the future, based on case studies for and with patients.
Our aim and motivation is to promote dialogue between different healthcare professionals and involve patients from the very outset. Because we firmly believe that a people-centric approach allows us to develop the best solutions – together and interprofessionally!
In concrete terms, this means that teams with a mix of specialisms immerse themselves in issues arising from actual cases raised by the partner companies and Galenica from the very outset. Practical and innovative solutions to the challenges of basic care will be developed at the workshop event.
👉🏽 We want to develop not just new, but sustainable solutions! That is why we place great emphasis on involving patients and sharing knowledge between team members from different healthcare disciplines.
