The NHS European Office monitors and engages with EU developments which have an impact on the NHS. This may be in the form of developing position papers and lobbying, and through responding to EU Consultations. In order to represent the NHS effectively we rely on the involvement of NHS professionals for their expertise in specific areas of work.
Work with us
The policy and legislation we work on requires the expertise of NHS representatives. We rely on input from all parts of the NHS in order to develop our position papers and influence our lobbying strategies at European level.
We are always keen to hear from NHS representatives who would like to be involved in our work.
