European Public Health News

Abstract

In this edition of European Public Health News, we will reflect on past achievements and how we build on those for upcoming activities. In my first EUPHA office column I describe the busy yet exciting autumn the EUPHA team has ahead of them and highlight some of our main plans. Kluge et al. from the WHO Regional Office for Europe go into how lessons from COVID-19 and Ukraine are shaping the deployment and work of Emergency Medical Teams. Middleton reflects on ASPHER’s achievements related to ensuring a vibrant multidisciplinary public health workforce now that he is reaching the end of his term as President for that organization. Finally, Barnhoorn and Busse describe the plenary programme of the European Public Health Conference that will take place 9–12 November 2022 in Berlin. Topics range from financial protection and the European Health Data Space to health system performance assessment and health promotion.
