 Welcome to the HPRO Card website
This website aims to take a proactive role by informing general public, Health Professionals and European entreaties about the project of Health Professional Card.
This project is funded by the European commission in the framework of VP/2007/014 of Directorate general for Employment, Social Affairs & Equal Opportunities corresponding to the line : “Promotion of geographic and job to job mobility for workers in the EU - INNOVATIVE PROJECTS”
The project was selected and began on March 1st 2008 for a 18 months duration.
The project
The main aim of the health professional card is to ease the free movement of the health professionals in Europe whilst ensuring the patient safety. Moreover, the card may have others usages such as the validation of continuing education, or the access to medical records.
Challenges of the project
In order to advance in the harmonization, the main task of the HPRO Card project will be a study on the interoperability issues, on the usages of the card, on the authentication techniques of the health professional along with the building of the list of the competent authorities.
Significant facts
The European Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications established for the first time the need for an harmonized European card for the health professionals in Europe.
A working group, gathering members from the five health profession designated by the directive (doctors, pharmacists, midwives, nurses and dental surgeons), was created in 2007. This group is composed by members from the various member states of Europe. An agreement was reached on the graphical aspect of the European side of the professional card. This was officially presented to the European parliament on October the 17th, 2008 in presence in particular of Bernadette Vergnaud and Evelyne Gebhardt, two MEPs.
