“Working with Paul has always been a great pleasure. At the European Health Forum Gastein he has provided solid and balanced strategic advice on the general policy direction of the organization well-grounded in an excellent understanding of our needs and the complex environment we were operating in. Also, he has shown outstanding leadership in designing and developing high profile events with senior decision-makers at ministerial level, navigating well the often sensitive political landscape and diverging interests of different stakeholders. His subtle and very effective networking skills are unparalleled in my view.”

Co-Creating a Health Europe: A European Health Union For and With Civil Society - A civil society perspective

Unfortunately, these interconnected challenges affect most the most vulnerable among us. We know that many a solution lays in wider civil society, deep in communities, fuelled by compassion and intrinsically motivated.

Summary: We are in a time of huge turbulence with not one, but a wicked combination of health, environmental and social crises. Unfortunately, these interconnected challenges affect most the most vulnerable among us. We know that many a solution lays in wider civil society, deep in communities, fuelled by compassion and intrinsically motivated. But is the European Union engaging effectively with civil society as it moves towards recovery from the largest health crisis in its history? Fears are that while health civil society is sometimes on the EU policy menu, it is rarely at the table, insufficiently consulted, and inadequately financially supported.
