HPCB Spring meeting, 30-th June 2008
Discussion Groups: • Group 1 – Sam Mars • Paul Steenbergen Foyer • Group 2 – Ramin Parsa-Parsi • Dames Foyer • Group 3 – Laurent Louette • Staircases between Dames Foyer en Paul Steenbergen Foyer • Group 4 – Paul Vinke • Nassau Foyer (down the stairs, 2-nd floor)
Group 1: Sam Mars • Information wanted by competent auths not the same as wanted by the public • Most have websites but information available differs • Greater issue is the information used in advertising personal websites & directories • Suggestion – public register portal. Link to websites (how often do they update?)
Group 2: Doctors right to privacy in balance against public right to information. Two models: • Basic information and reactive information sharing • Information on disciplinary actions and pro-active information sharing. >> Discussion on ongoing cases and final cases.
Group 3: • many information on the websites, mostly contact details and academic bio. • Disciplinary measures should be available to regulators, even if the case is ongoing. • Main obstacles are national laws on privacy and data protection. • regulators should try to avoid professionals with disciplinary measures to migrate to other countries
Group 4 • Information made public (websites) on ‘good and bad guys’ varies from everything to nothing. • Result of legal or statutory obligation • More transparency through political, professional and attitude changes • Importance of stopping bad apples to STOP working and to retrain where possible
Overall conclusions • Strong support of the strands 1 & 2 of the Portugal Agreement • Diverse approach of regulation – but regulation of qualifications should go hand in hand with continued performance enhancement and assurance of current competence. • Consistent approach of assessment and registration of non-EEA graduates.
Future Steps • Concrete feedback from all HPCB participants. • Feedback on achievements of HPCB within EEA countries. • Delivery of all actions contained in Portugal Agreement.
