European Health Policy Group (EHPG) 2018 Spring meeting

Bringing public health, social care and urbanity back in – health governance beyond policy subsystems

The Spring meeting of the European Health Policy Group (EHPG) was held at Rotterdam, The Netherlands, on 19 and 20 April 2018. The meeting was co-hosted by EUPHA and co-organised by our PHPP section.

Theme: 'Bringing public health, social care and urbanity back in – health governance beyond policy subsystems'

The EHPG is an informal group of scholars, senior policy officials and PhD students reviewing each others papers on a number of health system related topics twice a year. The group has been around for about 20 years now, meeting each Fall in London (hosted by King's College and LSHTM), and in Spring in one of the other European participating countries. It usually has around 30-50 active participants from Eastern and Western European countries. The programme consists of accepted paper reviews by allocated discussants, who present the paper on behalf of the author, address the quality of the paper, and discuss the policy and practice implications interactively with the audience (6). Each paper is allocated a full hour in-depth discussion.
