On 3 April 2025, the administration board and the general assembly of EurHeCA, an association bringing together the competent authorities of several healthcare professions, chaired by Pascale MATHIEU, president of the National Council of the Order of Physiotherapists, were held online.
During this general assembly, two new members joined the association following a unanimous vote: the National Order of French Dental Surgeons and the Irish Dental Council. The arrival of these two new members in EurHeCA is proof of the dynamism of the work carried out by the association, always insisting on one key message: the need to put patient safety at the heart of European policies on the mobility of healthcare professionals.
The exchanges on 3 April also allowed EurHeCA members to discuss the evaluation of the implementation of the directive on the recognition of professional qualifications carried out by the European Commission, in which the association had the opportunity to participate through a response to a targeted consultation.
Furthermore, institutional developments on issues of interest to EurHeCA members at the European level were also presented. These discussions allowed EurHeCA to discuss and define its priorities and action topics for the upcoming months.
Finally, the members of the association decided to organize an event in Brussels in the fall of 2025, alongside the next general assembly of EurHeCA, to present the association and its work to relevant MEPs and European public decision-makers.
