Is the health professional I am dealing
with appropriately
qualified? What happens
if things go
wrong?
What will I
have to pay? Who will I
have to pay? What if they don’t have the medicine back
home?
Will I have to break off the treatment
when I go home?

PGEUThe Directive
A step in the right direction but still a long way to go...
12/04/2011
The emphasis on cooperation in the Directive (e.g. European Reference Networks, eHealth, HTA) is a major step forward on the road to a more European approach to health issues and to patients rights.
But there is a long way to go, European health systems remain fragmented, and health inequality is a major and growing concern.

Why Cooperation Matters for Patients Rights and for Health?Why Cooperation Matters for Patients Rights and for Health?
Health systems are entering a new phase of growing demand and more limited resources the development of best practice and the encouragement of innovation has never been more important,
Cooperation is crucial between Member states , but also at the level of health professionals- as recognised by the provisions of the Directive relating to E Health.

Dossier Pharmaceutique for 2 months: Dossier Pharmaceutique for 2 months:
577 adverse drug reactions were identified and reported including 482 drug interactions,
In 77% of the interaction cases the pharmacist provided appropriate advice,
16% of the cases the prescriber was contacted, which lead to a modification in the prescription in at least 1 of 10 interventions,
60 were interventions concerning an oral anticoagulant treatment.

PGEUKeeping the Patient at the Centre
We must not loose sight of the patient – processes such as HTA cooperation must make a robust commitment to consulting with patients and patient organisations,
eHealth development must not be dominated by industrial concerns – we need systems which ‘fit for purpose’ from the patients’ point of view, and recognise patient autonomy and the key role of consent,
We are a long way from a European health system, but the Directive is a big step toward a Europeanised health system...
