3/12/2014 – ROMA

Workshop on Mobility Data Organised by Work Package 4

Dear WP4 Partners

The WP4 workshop on health workforce mobility data on the 3rd December is organised the day before the main Joint Action Conference to be held on 4th and 5th December in Rome. This date and location makes the workshop and JA Conference participation easier for our Partners.

The focus of this workshop will be on health workforce mobility, including recommendations on related data collection. We lean on and follow up work of previous WP4 workshops, where many aspects of this topic were already explored.

After the mobility workshop, we shall also organise meeting to launch our Activity 3 on health workforce planning data gap analysis. This activity is to compare the (health workforce) data collections countries currently conduct in terms of the minimum dataset needed to perform national level health workforce planning.

To register please contact: Andras Weber

Looking forward meeting you at this workshop
