On 09 to 10 May 2019, the Danish Regions’ Wage and Practitioners Committee visited HOSPEEM in Brussels. The Committee is constituted by regional politicians and advises the Danish Regions’ board of directors on matters related to collective agreements and development with regard to hospital staff as well as the general practitioners, practicing specialist, physiotherapists etc. The Committee has a big focus on recruitment, wages, work environment, pensions, the development of staff skills and medical coverage.
The HOSPEEM staff gave an overview of its latest activities and achievement, highlighting the Joint Declaration on Continuing Professional Development, the Code of Conduct on Ethical Recruitment and the follow-up report on the medical sharps. The Committee also met with representatives from the European Commission having the opportunity to discuss Denmark in the European Semester, the European Social Dialogue as well as the latest legislative developments on occupational safety and labour law.
On 9 May 2019, HOSPEEM visited its French member’s organisation, the Federation of private not for profit healthcare institutions and care services – FEHAP.
HOSPEEM had a meeting with Mr. François Grimonprez, FEHAP Director for Networks and Institutional Services. The meeting provided with the opportunity to exchange information on FEHAP and HOSPEEM current priorities and challenges and discuss EU main topics and initiatives in the healthcare and hospital sector. It also allowed to get an insight into the system of collective bargaining in France and into the role of the independent employers in the healthcare sector.
HOSPEEM also had the chance to visit the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris, FEHAP member and to meet with the Director of Communication, Ms. Laurence Bourgine, who provided with an insight view of the hospital’s surgical expertise and its innovative approach to patients’ treatment and well-being.
HOSPEEM would like to thank François Grimonprez, Laetitia Tibourtine, as well as the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris for the warm welcome and the fruitful exchange.
