European Medicines Agency workshop on the collaboration with general practitioners / family physicians

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is organising this workshop with a representative group of general practitioners (GPs) and family doctors across the European Union in the context of the implementing the EMA framework of interaction with healthcare professionals' organisations. EMA strives to reinforce and promote engagement with general practitioners, in close collaboration with their representative European organisations. Participants will discuss how regulatory actions have or could impact general practice and what type of input collected at primary care level would be most valuable and feasible to obtain to inform the regulatory decision-making process. The workshop will identify areas where collaboration would mutually benefit GPs and EMA, with the objective of investigating if a specific area and format of collaboration could be piloted with a group of GPs and how to establish such group as a pool of EMA experts.
