The first RCGP Global Health Conference: the global impact of family medicine

摘要

The UK Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) actively encourages the establishment of primary care throughout the world. It supports international development partners to learn from each other and work together to achieve universal health coverage and access to family medicine for all. Demonstrating its leadership and capacity, the first RCGP Global Health Conference (GHC): ‘Family Medicine: global impact’ was held at 30 Euston Square on 6–8 March 2015. Over 300 delegates from 20 countries, including GPs/family medicine doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, educationalists, managers, academics, and medical leaders, gathered to consider global primary care development and the complexity of access to affordable, continuous health care for all.
