January, 2014

Another year begins, and it has been a really hectic few weeks already! The WONCA Executive met in London for three days ( January 17-19) with a very full agenda, and many issues were discussed and debated.

December, 2013

Hong Kong anniversary celebrations, young doctors and ... we come to the end of the first full year of the WONCA Secretariat in Bangkok. It has been a busy and eventful year, with our first Executive and Council meetings, but we survived, and I’m sure will go from strength to strength.

October, 2013

This month I want to highlight WONCA’s Young Doctor movements and the fantastic work they are doing. These are the next generation of leaders of family medicine and of WONCA, and it is wonderful to see so much energy and enthusiasm – reassuring that the future of family medicine is safe in their hands.

At its June 2013 meeting in Prague, WONCA Council agreed to the proposal to introduce Life Individual Direct Membership.

Wasn’t Prague fantastic? A great conference in a great centre, really well organised and brilliantly delivered.

It’s been a busy month, and June will be even more frantic. I wish you all safe travels and look forward very much to meeting up with many of you in Prague.
