New approaches to primary care

Healthcare Professionals developed new approaches to primary care on an interprofessional basis and in partnership with patients.

Galenica launched the second round of the Healthcare Professionals Initiative in July 2024. Interprofessional teams developed new solutions for the integrated care of the future based on practical cases for and with patients.

The highlight and conclusion of this work took place on 22 November 2024 with the Healthcare Event in Nottwil.

Our aim and motivation was to promote dialogue between different healthcare professionals and involve patients from the very outset. Because we firmly believe that a people-centric approach allows us to develop the best solutions – together and interprofessionally!
