E-hälsoportal

Förutom sidor som My lifestyle, My Health, My environment, Health Problems och Care for me finns det en del av portalen som länkar ihop "Health in Europe" och där olika forskningsprogram, organisationer och policies är sökbara.

Portalen är mycket stor och inte alldeles enkel att orientera sig i. Sökningar efter hälsoutbildningar på nätet kammar noll med sökbegrepp som e-learning, netbased, distance och education. Många policydokument dyker dock upp.

Ska bli spännande att få ta del av den svenska versionen och om den kan komma till användning i våra utbildningar.

Så här skriver de själva om portalen:

The Portal is an initiative of the Community Public Health Programme 2003-2008 intended to permit greater involvement of individuals, institutions, associations, organisations and bodies in the health sector by facilitating consultation and participation. In this framework, attention is given to the right of the EU population to receive simple, clear and scientifically sound information about measures to protect health and prevent diseases. One of the main aims of the portal is to convey that citizens share responsibility for improving their health. Increased awareness of the different EU activities and programmes relating to Public Health will help the general pubic contribute to and support them.
