Our official HOC consists of a large group of enthusiastic young and future GPs. To introduce ourselves, each member will share with you what is on her personal and professional bucket list for the years to come and what she is looking forward to during the Preconference.
We are very lucky to be assisted by an even bigger team of non-official HOC members. We want to thank everyone who is involved in helping us to turn this Preconference into an unforgettable experience.
The Preconference is the first event jointly organised by the French-speaking and Dutch-speaking young family doctors movements in Belgium: “SSM-J” and “Jong Domus”. We are very happy to work together and hope this Preconference will lead to more future joint events for young GPs in Belgium.
