  • 62ND EQUIP CONFERENCE IN DUBLIN

    Abstract Submission Deadline is approaching fast and is set to 16 April 2023.

    The 62nd EQuiP Conference will take place in Dublin-Ireland between 12-13 May 2023. The preliminary Conference Programme can be viewed here.

    Our 2023 conference theme is to focus a spotlight on the wide range of quality activities in Europe, the “Hot Topics” of quality. Delegates will exchange knowledge and innovations, and this promotes future networking among professionals.

    We invite you to submit abstracts for short panel presentations within symposia to update colleagues on current and recent publications, projects and project proposals that shine a spotlight on quality of care in GP/FM. The abstracts can be based on your personal work, or the outputs of your institution or based on the work of colleagues in your national college / national WONCA Europe member organisation for GP/FM. The theme of each plenary symposium will be decided by abstracts received.

    We look forward to welcoming you to Dublin!

    Dr Andrée Rochfort, President of EQUIP
    ICGP Director of Quality Improvement

  • International Women’s Day 2023


    We are the new SIG Women’s Health and we would like you to join us and celebrate Women’s Day.

    This year we want to make a special mention to all those women who suffer daily the consequences of their environment.
    Those women who pay the consequences of living in disadvantage. It can be war, can be peace.
    It can be north or south, east to west.

    Those women for whom society has thought silence is the best treat to receive.
    Those women who are deprived of power of decision, of voice.
    Those who cannot vote.
    Those women who are not allowed to speak for themselves.
    Those women whose opinion is not taken into consideration.

    Despite women being briefly half of the world population, we are still considered a minority.

    But we can change that.
    We can raise our voices together and fight for equity. That gap that we try to close daily can be smaller tomorrow.

    We, as doctors, have the exquisite privilege of sharing our opinion and this can be listened to.

    We do celebrate Women’s Day.
    And we want to keep celebrating every eighth of March.
    For us, for them and for the ones who are to come.

  • Website additions

    I’m currently finishing the migration attempts from the old website. Besides converting all past bursary and award winners I excavated a lot of old hippokrates reports. Feel free to browse them for urgent Exchange stimulation.

  • Our new logo

    Dear Friends,

    a big moment for our still young organisation.

    The comprehensive process of choosing our future identity was sucessfully completed. The last step, after council selected from strong candidates, was finalising the new logo.

    The website is still work in progress and will receive a personalized template and more content needs to be transferred and added in some sections. As this is much simpler now we can assure you there will be more updates than before.
