Description
Summary:[...]understanding EU health policy and the EU's impact on health is not always straightforward. THE POLITICS OF EU HEALTH POLICY-MAKING The EU has four core institutions that exercise the most power on EU policy: the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament, and the European Court of Justice. Nowadays, the PAG is made up of representatives of various scientific societies; therefore, the contribution of each of the members is essential to make proposals in Brussels that are in line with the various intervention topics on chronic diseases of gastroenterological relevance as well as in the context of neoplasms in the gastroenterological field. [...]the presence in the of experts in basic research, clinics, endoscopy, paediatrics, general medicine and more, representatives of groups for organ pathology, such as the liver and intestine or pancreas, makes the PAG work varied and interesting and full of stimuli towards the politics of Brussels. Austerity measures and workforce shortages in an era of medical crisis can lead to overburdening junior doctors, which can negatively impact their mental health and training outcomes. [...]we advocate prioritising both recruitment and retention policies and creating incentives to improve working conditions for young doctors.
