Activities

In 2022 EURIPA published a Blueprint for Rural Practice in Europe.

It replaces the original Charter for Rural Practice drawn up at EURIPA's inaugural meeting in Majorca in June 1997. The Charter aimed to set the standard for rural practice throughout the region. Like the first document, the Blueprint aims to ensure that rural communities have access to high quality, safe and effective health care irrespective of where they live.

EURIPA is committed to promoting rural issues at all times and providing advocacy for rural communities, rural health care professionals and the rural way of life. The Blueprint is used by EURIPA to inform its forward work plan, in partnership with WONCA Europe and its networks.

The work programme covers Research, Education and Policy.
