FFGQ

Quality Groups help organize a quality initiative within a given region by holding physicians accountable for the appropriateness of their practices and prescriptions. Specifically, these are groups consisting of about ten primary care physicians from the same region, who meet 10 times a year to discuss and analyze their practices based on a topic selected at the regional level (6) or by the group itself (4). Each group is facilitated by a peer who has been trained for this role. These discussions are based on up-to-date scientific data and clinical cases presented by the participants. Changes in practice are measured using indicators made available to participants. Quality Groups have existed for nearly twenty years and have spread to five metropolitan regions: Brittany, Centre-Val de Loire, Hauts-de-France, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire. They are organized under a federation: the French Federation of Quality Groups (FFGQ).

MEDECINS SOLIDAIRES

Médecins Solidaires is a very simple idea conceived by Dr. Martial Jardel, a general practitioner and co-founder of the association.

In practice, since 2022, the association has been asking general practitioners to donate one week of their time to take turns working in health centers located in underserved areas. Thanks to this rotation system run by a group of over 1,000 volunteer doctors, 14 villages have already regained sustainable access to healthcare!

The model is turnkey: each week, in each of the 14 health centers, a doctor takes over from the previous one. Their sole mission? To care for patients. In addition to a net salary of 1,000 euros, housing, transportation, and all administrative paperwork are covered by the association. Residents of these areas, who in some cases haven’t seen a doctor in several years, are thus able to receive ongoing medical care provided by the Médecins Solidaires health centers, which become their primary care providers.

Médecins de Montagne

The Médecins de Montagne brings together general practitioners working in mountain regions who share specialized expertise in traumatology, emergency medicine, and healthcare in remote environments.

Mountain medicine faces unique challenges related to geographical isolation, seasonal fluctuations in activity, land and housing shortages, and practice constraints, particularly regarding access to technical facilities and paramedical resources.

As a training organization, Médecins de Montagne supports physicians, residents, and early-career practitioners each year through dedicated training programs, conferences, and events. By encouraging the sharing of experiences, the transmission of expertise, and the continuous improvement of professional practices, the association helps ensure the provision of high-quality healthcare in mountain areas and prepares healthcare professionals to meet the current and future challenges of mountain medicine.

Wonca World Conference

https://woncaeurope2027.org

Join us in Cape Town for the WONCA World Conference 2027, returning to Africa for the first time in 25 years. The central theme is the role of the family doctor within the primary health care team in a rapidly changing world.
From artificial intelligence and digital health to the integration of primary care and public health, resilience of health systems, and multidisciplinary teamwork, we will explore how family medicine continues to evolve while staying rooted in its core values.
The conference offers an opportunity to share the latest research, innovations, and ideas, while building new international collaborations and professional networks.
It is also a unique chance for family doctors from across Africa and around the world to connect and engage with the global primary care community.
Cape Town — recently recognized among the world’s top cities for its outstanding quality of life, culture, and natural beauty — provides an inspiring setting for learning, exchange, and connection.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town in November 2027.

Wonca europe conference

https://woncaeurope2027.org/

Welcome to the WONCA Europe Conference 2027 in Ljubljana, where we will focus on one of the most pressing challenges in primary care: sustainability.
Across Europe, primary care systems are under increasing pressure from demographic change, workforce shortages, environmental crises, technological disruption, and shifting societal expectations.
In this context, sustainability is not optional — it is essential for ensuring resilient, equitable, and high-quality health systems for the future.
The scientific programme is structured around a clear systems-thinking framework:
from planetary health and the end of business as usual, through system-level reform in policy and financing, to the future of the healthcare workforce, the role of human-centred technology and artificial intelligence, and the evolution of the social contract between healthcare professionals and society.
This conference will bring together research, practice, education, and policy to explore sustainable pathways for primary care in Europe. We invite you to contribute your best work and engage in meaningful scientific dialogue that will shape the future of our discipline.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ljubljana in 2027.
