Syllabus (2)

• The target audience should be clearly defined. As
  such, the identified items are adapted neither to
  paediatricians nor to allied health
  professionals.
• A curriculum adapted to the needs of allied
  health professionals would be useful.
• Number of modules might be reduced, but in no
  case increased.

12
Syllabus (3)

• All included items are relevant. However, the
  real issue is to define the level of knowledge /
  competence which should be reached for each of
  these items.
• Some diagnostic procedures and treatment
  modalities are too specialised and experimental
  to be included in such a document.
• Very interesting, useful and ambitious project,
  which will greatly improve doctors' mobility
  across Europe.

13
Patient Survey

• Survey aimed at defining what patients expect
  from their doctors
• Survey conducted in collaboration with ELF
• Survey already started through patient
  organisations in the UK, Denmark, Italy, Croatia
• Discussions ongoing with the Netherlands
• Results expected in April 2006
