The EMHF returns to the European Health Forum Gastein in October 2010 with another innovative and thought provoking meeting format.
From Health Kick to Goal will be run in partnership with the European Patients Forum and the European Institute of Women's Health.
It will take the form of a game of football practice where celebrity players rehearse their tactics ahead of the big match. The goal is to score higher than ever on earlier diagnosis! Pele has been invited but we have yet to hear from him.
With a little sporting theatre, the event will:
- Explore current strategies and point to additional opportunities that can increase health literacy and promote earlier diagnosis
- Make recommendations as benchmarks for progress over the next decade.
- Further engage EU stakeholders, particularly policy and decision makers at government level with these issues.
- Be fun, bring your own scarf (anyone caught carrying a referees whistle will be sent off to a Gastein plenary session)
It is a lunch workshop on Thursday 7 October. Come support your favourite team in the European public health Cup 2010!
