34.  The VdGM preconference is a meeting for GP trainees or newly qualified GP's (up till
5 year after graduation).
 VdGM asks National Colleges of European Countries to send 1–2 delegates to the
Preconference.
 Every year a «new» delegate has the opportunity to get an interesting introduction
to the idea of being a GP in the European context and exchange ideas, experiences
and visions. Discussions with fellow trainees or young GPs from all over the Europe
widen perspectives and horizons, in keeping with the mission statement of VdGM:
Our mission is to extend our knowledge of GP/FM in a European perspective and to
exchange ideas and experiences with the purpose to develop and improve GP/FM
in Europe and at home.

35. Preconference participants will also have the chance to get acquainted with the
activities of VdGM and to attend the yearly Wonca Europe Conference. The aim is
to stimulate young GPs' enthusiasm in maintaining the goals of a high quality
family medicine in their countries as well as throughout Europe, working along the
following lines «think globally, act locally».
The aim of preconference is:
• To provide a forum for young and future General Practitioners/Family
Physicians to exchange ideas and professional experiences in an European
context,
• To discuss the development of family medicine to meet the needs of patients
in a increasingly complex field within a rapidly changing society with rising
demands from individuals and ever growing medical possibilities,
• To discuss and promote working conditions corresponding to the needs of
the upcoming generation of General Practitioners/Family Physicians,
• To improve practice, quality, teaching and research of General
Practice/Family Medicine in all European countries.

scientific society´s (máximum 2 gp-trainees or young GP for

arguing theme (education, exchange, research…) and, together
