Interprofessional, network-oriented, patient-centred
The Galenica Healthcare Professionals Initiative brings professionals and patients together. Innovative solutions for patient-centred primary care are developed collectively. The Galenica network deliberately takes a leading role in interprofessionalism.
How can holistic cardiovascular treatment for women be improved? How can a telemedicine provider work with pharmacies to create a better ecosystem for chronically ill patients? How can individual management be promoted in migraine patients? These three and eight other questions were the focus of the Healthcare Professionals Initiative workshop day in November 2024, which brought together around 130 healthcare professionals and several patients. The interprofessional teams came prepared with draft solutions that they had worked out jointly in advance. At the meeting in November, they presented these approaches to a jury of experts.
The Healthcare Professionals Initiative was launched by Galenica in November 2023. Its aim is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, involve patients and work together to find the best solutions for the primary care of tomorrow. Specifically, this means that mixed teams engage with practical questions raised by partner companies and Galenica in a structured and supervised process. Practical and innovative solutions will then be developed on the day of the workshop.
Galenica CEO Marc Werner was also present and was impressed by the performance of the teams. For him – and certainly for all participants – interprofessionalism is the key word for patient-centred healthcare systems. As a network-oriented company, Galenica consciously takes on a leading role in bringing stakeholders together.
