Anna Stavdal har publisert et essay i WONCA News i juli om The Global Core Values project.
"Family medicine has long recognised continuity as one of the defining characteristics of excellent patient care. Perhaps it is also time to recognise that continuity is also a defining characteristic of a healthy profession. The future of family medicine depends not only on defining our values, but on ensuring that every new generation understands, embodies, and renews them. Stewardship of family medicine is therefore not simply about preserving a discipline. It is about educating the generations that will carry it forward."
WONCA is the World Organization of Family Doctors, with 118 Member Organizations representing over 500,000 family doctors in over 130 countries and territories around the world, and working in partnership with the World Health Organisation.
