EHFF, the European Health Futures Forum was set up in 2013 as an NGO dedicated to supporting actions leading to the improvement of the health of the citizens of Europe. Initially incorporated in the UK as a not-for-profit organisation, in 2017 it established itself in Ireland and is now a registered Charity. Important aspects of its stated mission include: to provide the forum as a resource for stakeholders to seek, process and exchange knowledge and information to influence the future of health and healthcare in Europe especially via international cooperation, support current EU policy directions and provide a better understanding of future possibilities in this area to EU and national policy makers. Secondly, to promote a holistic view of health including the promotion of disease prevention and the maintenance of good health, as part of societal well-being and to focus on the potential for transformational change through health, education and business working together. These aims have been put into practice via participation in a number of EU funded projects. Recently, funded by the Bosch Stiftung, EHFF set up a European resource center for patient and community empowerment (www.CEmPaC.org ). Empowering informal careers and adult educators/care workers to better address ICs needs for support and well-being in their lives is entirely consistent with the activities of the latter organisation.
