The European Forum for Primary Care

The European Forum for Primary Care was initiated in early 2005 by a group of interested parties from several countries. The EFPC aims to improve the population’s health by promoting strong Primary Care. This is done by advocating for Primary Care, generating data and evidence on Primary Care, and exchanging information between its members. The Forum seeks to expand its membership and thereby become a leading force for strengthening Primary Care in Europe. The Forum includes a Mental Health working group that will actively contribute to the S4R project by enabling wide input from and outreach to policy makers, leaders, workers and informal caregivers.

EFPC’s role in S4R is related to user involvement, ensuring that the understanding of the informal caregiver’s role is strongly underpinned by cultural and societal factors such as cultural values and culturally specific norms.
