The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has joined a group of leading health organisations from across Europe in an initiative to improve quality of care and public health.
Ageing populations and the legacy of economic crisis are confronting health systems across Europe with unprecedented challenges. The 'Value of health – Improving outcomes' project calls for a stronger focus on health outcomes, including a more robust approach to how they are measured, to bring about the following benefits:
- improve quality of care for patients
- strengthen public health interventions
- contribute to wider economic goals
- increase societal well-being.
Other partners in the project include the European Patients' Forum, the Royal College of Nursing and Cancer Research UK.

The RCP's work in Brussels is led by Paul Belcher, principal EU adviser. Please contact Paul at pbelcher@euhealth.org for further information.
