The EFPC is starting a Working Group on Prison Health and Primary Care. We invite researchers, professionals and policy makers who are interested in this topic to contribute to this development. The initiator of the WG is Anke van Dam, our new Advisory Board member who has considerable experience in this area via her own organization AFEW (Aids Foundation East West).

WHO Europe has its’ Prisons and health: Partnership for Health in the Criminal Justice System with several documents to be checked.

A few EFPC members have already begun an online discussion environment in PIE. Please contact the EFPC secretariat or if you have already access to PIE go straight to the discussion to show your interest.

A first meeting is planned for mid February. If you are interested to join, please send a message to the EFPC secretariat.
