“HEROES is the joint action that is strengthening EU Member States capacity to better organise and plan their health workforce to meet future health system challenges. All 19 countries involved in the action are working to create a more resilient and flexible health workforce. At the end of the action, they would be able to rely on solid databases, appropriate forecasting models, effective stakeholder involvement and a skilled staff of “health workforce planners”. The results of the participating countries will help all EU Member States to improve their capacity by creating a European community of experts and practitioners.“
