Brief History of the EUROPREV Programme
 

 

   
On occasion of the First Conference on Prevention and Health Promotion held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, November, 1995, a document titled "Towards an Enhancement of Health Promotion and Preventive Functions in General / Family Practice in Europe" was elaborated, under the auspices of the WHO (to be published).

During the month of April, 1996, a meeting was organised in Barcelona with representatives of WONCA, WHO and others to discuss the creation of a working group on Prevention and Health Promotion. It was decided to denominate the group "European Review Group on Prevention and Health Promotion in Family Medicine and General Practice (EUROPREV)".

It was during the European WONCA Congress in Stockholm, July, 1996 that the EUROPREV Programme was officially presented to the delegates of the different General and Family Medicine Societies from Europe registered at the Congress. The project was well accepted, and it was agreed that the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC) through its Programme for Prevention and Health Promotion (PAPPS) would coordinate EUROPREV.
